He added that UNRWA is trying hard, with the help of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, to restore contact with many Arab countries that have suspended and reduced their financial aid.
Abu Hasna explained that the UN agency is counting on the success of the meeting of the donor countries, which will be held in New York on the side-lines of the meetings of the UN General Assembly.
“We hope to mobilize the required and enough financial support that would cover UNRWA’s financial deficit, which has reached 100 million US dollars,” he added.
He warned that “if there are no financial developments after the conference, the crisis will intensify in the coming months of November and December.”
