Gaza - The U.N. Relief and Works Agency, the main body providing aid to millions of Palestinian refugees and their descendants across the Middle East, made an urgent appeal for international support Wednesday, one day after the State Department announced it will withhold more than half its annual funding.
After decades of generous support, dramatic reduction of US funding to UNRWA results in most critical financial situation in history of Agency, the agencys commissioner general, Pierre Krähenbühl, wrote on Twitter. I call on member states of the United Nations to take a stand & demonstrate to Palestine Refugees that their rights & future matter.
In the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza, 42-year-old Ahmed Al-Assar said his family of eight has been receiving aid from UNRWA for almost 12 years.
I work part-time in construction, but that is not enough to cover all my expenses, he said Wednesday. Any reduction of aid would be a death sentence for refugees in Gaza. The work is almost nonexistent. There are not enough jobs. Those who work for the Palestinian Authority receive only a stipend, and Hamas employees get a quarter of their salary.
Another camp resident, Zahia Mekdad, described the aid cut as a purely political decision that would hurt only ordinary people.
There has already been a reduction of aid in recent years, she said. If it is reduced more, it is the women, children and young people who will suffer, not the politicians.

Refusing to give Palestinians cash will prevent their giving cash bonuses to moms who give their sons bomb vests to "go to Paradise!
It will also help save lives by forcing dads and older sons to work to "support their families", thereby freeing them up from rock throwing and killing Israeli security forces!
It's a win-win situation all around!
Cut it all.
They deserve nothing.
I have not much, but that’s what I deserve for my choices.
And the USA, even DJT now, takes some of my money even if it is only one dollar,
and gives it to people that would kill me if given the chance, gets me really hacked.

Whatever. Wage jihad on your own dime, hadji.
Oh, well. Guess they should have given the bear a little bit of love instead of poking it with a stick ... there’s a new sheriff in town, and he don’t like bear baiting one little bit ...
If you check the internet, you can find pictures of Gaza which show Paliscumians living the good life. They only trot out the pathetic pictures to gain the sympathy (and the purse) of libtards and other suckers.
Perhaps pointing out that I have been paying for a bunch of cavemen to sit at home and bang their wives while teaching their spawn to hate me isnt a good method of cultivating any sympathy with me.
How mean of Trump not to pay for the jihadist plan to take over by outbreeding non-Muslims.
Great news! We need to stop funding people who hate us.

Goes to show when one's living arrangements is composed of mainly "refugees/immigrants" that have nothing to offer society - they go on the dole and wreak havoc - and bitch when the gravy train supplies come up short...
