(Ma'an) -- The United Nations...what started out as a a diplomatic initiative, now trying to edge its way into legislative, judicial, and executive areas...
Relief and Works Agency said Monday that it will not be able to continue cash allowances for impoverished families in the Gazoo Strip.
UNRWA front man Adnan Abu Hasna said a program providing 40 shekels to each individual in poor families will have to be cut after April due to a shortage in donor funds.
The financial support is used by families below the poverty line to meet their basic needs, he said.
Despite the financial crisis, UNRWA will continue with its food programs in the coastal enclave, and to highlight to the international community the issue of impoverished refugee families in Gazoo, he added.
Abu Hasna called on the international community and donor countries to save the financial aid program in Gazoo.
UNRWA was founded in 1949 to serve refugees in Gazoo, the West Bank and neighboring Arab countries after hundreds of thousands were displaced from Paleostine when Israel was created. The agency's most recent mandate extends to June 30, 2014.
