Besides, He warned that “Failing to receive the necessary funds will affect vital services to millions of Palestine refugees, and if the UNRWA cannot deliver on our mandate due to inadequate resources, I will have no other choice than to turn to the United Nations General Assembly for guidance about what part of the mandate it wishes to prioritize”.
