Gaza refugees protest Washington’s UNRWA funding cuts

GAZA CITY, GAZA - SEPTEMBER 10: Dozens of Palestinian refugees in the blockaded Gaza Strip on Monday staged a protest against a recent U.S. decision to cut all funding for UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA. Organized by a popular committee affiliated with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), the protest was held outside the UNRWA’s Gaza City office where protesters waved banners calling on the UN to support the cash-strapped refugee agency. “We affirm our categorical rejection of the so-called ‘deal of the century’, which [U.S. President Donald] Trump sanctified with his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital,” popular committee spokesman Zeyad al-Sarfandi said at Monday’s protest. “We also call on the international community to redouble its efforts to help UNRWA by providing it with a fixed budget so it can continue providing Palestinian refugees with vital services,” al-Sarfandi said.
