The Palestine Liberation Organization sent an immediate appeal to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the member states of the United Nations. It called for urgent intervention to support the right of Palestinian refugees to health and safety, to provide them with protection following the mandate of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Refugees in the Middle East “UNRWA,” the standards and protocols of the World Health Organization.
