An-Najah News - PLOl rejected  UNRWA’s decision to cut down the salaries of its employees.

Ahmed Abu Houli the PLO's Executive Committee and head of its Refugee Affairs Department said UNRWA's decision is a dangerous approach that establishes a new policy in dealing with its financial crisis.

He explained that over the past five years, UNRWA has taken measures by reducing its services and programs by $500 million, the last of which was in 2020.

UN agency cut an amount of $97 million from its regular budget estimated at $806 million, pointing out that such administrative measures have become a constant policy for UNRWA to get out of its financial crisis.

Abu Houli demanded to retract the decision and search for alternatives to obtain additional financing that contributes to filling the fiscal deficit.
