118 NATIONS UNITE T0 BACK UNRWA OPERATIONS
July 15, 2024118 States have stood up and defended UNRWA as a critical humanitarian organisation for the Palestinian people.
At a press stakeout, led by Jordan, Kuwait and Slovenia, states stood behind the necessity for UNRWA as a pillar in providing aid to the Palestinian people.
There have been constant attacks by Israel to defund UNRWA and remove its operations from Palestine.
This is NOT new. Israel has sought to remove UNRWA for decades, ever since the UN acknowledged the right of return for the Palestinians.
Israel wants to ELIMINATE all traces of Palestinian blood West of the Jordan River.

English Script:
Unknown man: We are here to formally announce the initiative of short commitments of UNRWA, which was initiated by Slovenia, Jordan, Kuwait, and initially launched by a group of 16 countries in support of the agency. I am glad to inform that until this morning we have 118 member states that have joined the initiative and actually, just before I came here, I had some colleagues calling to join. We thank them for their support and we call on other members to join the initiative, which is open to all Member States to sign anytime. The support for UNRWA during this urgent and difficult time is of vital importance. This agency is the lifeline for Palestine refugees in all areas of operation for the agency, and there is no other agency or body related to the United Nations or humanitarian agencies that is able to perform the functions that UNRWA is performing, especially with regard to education, health and providing for the living in the areas of operation, including the occupied Palestinian territory.
