The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East – the UNRWA - has signed an agreement with France and the French Development Agency. The French-funded project “WAHET”- will improve water access, health and education for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
The French ambassador to Lebanon says in the face of the unprecedented crisis caused by the US withdrawal of funds, other states will shoulder the responsibility and should work towards renewing the mandate of the UNRWA.
Palestinian children also expressed their content with the proposed project.
Palestinian refugees have been living in dire humanitarian crisis since their expulsion from Palestine by Israeli militant forces in 1948. Now, hundreds of thousands are spread across 12 camps.
After the US cut funds to UNRWA, other countries found it necessary to increase their support for Palestinian refugees. Projects like the one signed today could help provide some educational and health reliefs for 12 Palestinian camps in Lebanon.
