UNRWA chief: Sharp increase in cost of food plunging Palestinian refugees into poverty

UNRWA Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini said today that the sharp increase in the cost of food and commodities is plunging Palestinian refugees in the region into deeper poverty.

He added, "Desperation is mounting, especially among young people across the Middle East. They are confronted with poverty, unemployment, and a general lack of prospect. Some are risking their lives in search of a more dignified life." 

"Despite chronic underfunding and a very challenging context under which the Agency operates, UNRWA continues to deliver assistance and services against all odds. It is a key contributor to stability and development in the region," he continued.
