UNRWA is Irreplaceable
Geneva, 29 October 2024 - The International Organization for Migration (IOM) fully supports the Secretary-General and the United Nations' resolute stance that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is irreplaceable. The absence of UNRWA from the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly in Gaza, will be catastrophic.
UNRWA’s comprehensive mandate underscores its unique role as a custodian of Palestinian refugees' rights and well-being, extending well beyond the provision of basic aid. It is an essential provider of education, healthcare, social services, infrastructure, protection, and so many other vital services for Palestinian refugees. It upholds the dignity and rights of those it serves, promoting human development until a just and lasting solution to their plight is achieved. It is imperative that we support and protect this mandate.
UNRWA’s services are indispensable to the people of Gaza – there is no alternative to UNRWA. Together with our partners, including UN agencies, we will continue to provide support to individuals in crisis.
