The UN special envoy to the Middle East Nickolay Mladenov on Tuesday urged U.S. President Donald Trump to resume funding he had cut to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the UN agency which assists Palestinian refugees.
Addressing a UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East and quoted by Haaretz, Mladenov said that "UNRWAs financial crisis remains a very serious concern. At present, UNRWA needs some $217 million to sustain its work in 2018. I urge the swift mobilization of support to enable the continuity of assistance and a maintenance of stability on the ground in the region."
"UNRWA has communicated to staff that every effort will be made to mitigate the impact on the most vulnerable refugees of reductions in emergency assistance. Of particular concern, is the possibility of a delay to the start of the school year for some 526,000 students in UNRWA schools throughout its areas of operation," added Mladenov.
The U.S. announced in January it would cut some of its funding to UNRWA, citing a need to undertake a fundamental re-examination of the organization, both in the way it operates and the way it is funded.
The organization later received pledges of $100 million in additional funding from Qatar, Canada, Switzerland, Turkey, New Zealand, Norway, Korea, Mexico, Slovakia, India and France as a means of making up for the aid that was cut by Washington.
UNRWA said last month that it had managed to pay salaries and provide some services, but also said there was still a large budget deficit of $256 million.
UNRWA is notorious for its anti-Israel activities. During the 2014 counterterrorism Operation Protective Edge, Hamas rockets were discovered inside a school building run by UNRWA.

How about “No” and “ask your Eurozone friends”.
This is the money that went to family members of terrorists that had killed Israelis. All of the funding was from US Citizens for Israelis murders. This funding should have never existed
And yet Mexico is listed. What are they sending? My guess is cocaine and opiates
Hamas can’t rearm after the past week without our money. Tell them to demand it from the EU or they’ll order more rapes and vehicle attacks.
Jiziyya is bad stuff, man. Don’t do it.
Not to worry, UN. I am sure Trump will pull out his personal checkbook.
Thanks Eleutheria5. It's nice to see that Mexico is helping make up the shortfall, had no idea Mexico had that kind of money.
Demand it from Iran. Obama donated 150 billion to them.
We’re disinclined to acquiesce to your request.
-———continuity of assistance-——
Demand? Urged? How bout advised or suggested?
So, there is a possibility that it is feasible to end some programs deemed to be etched in granite. Continuity can be disrupted by disruption of the money flow.
Bureaucratic fear is a very powerful force that is contagious
