United Nations : UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged funding and political support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

“I appeal to you today to provide the funding and political support UNRWA needs to help build peace and stability — for Palestinians, for Israel and for the region,” Guterres said at a ministerial meeting in support of UNRWA.

In his remarks, the UN chief said generations of Palestine refugees have counted on UNRWA for education, health care and other essential services, and before October 2023, it provided schooling for half a million girls and boys across the region. Today, it delivers emergency food and cash assistance for 2.6 million people, and its primary clinics handle 10.5 million visits per year
