The Palestinian Refugee Crisis Deepens as Garbage Piles Up and Healthcare Services Halt
The ongoing strike by UNRWA workers in the West Bank has left Palestinian refugee camps facing a summer of waste and disease, with piles of garbage accumulating and healthcare services halted.
The UNRWA claims that it does not have enough funds to meet the demands of its workers, leading to concerns about an environmental and health disaster as summer approaches.
The Palestinian Authority and the PLO are involved in negotiations to solve the crisis, but the UNRWA's budget is currently $70 million in deficit annually.
Saudi Arabia has provided significant funding to the UNRWA in the past, and its support is seen as a motivating factor for other countries to support the organization.
