Excellencies,
As the future of Syria takes shape, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA ¨C the United Nations Agency for Palestine Refugees ¨C remains a lifeline for a highly vulnerable community: Palestine Refugees in Syria, and those who fled to Jordan and Lebanon.
In an inclusive Syria, the rights of all people, including Palestine Refugees, must be protected.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA stands ready to work with Syrian authorities and international partners to protect Palestine Refugees¡¯ rights; enhance access to basic services; and promote better socioeconomic inclusion, in support of peace and stability.
The Agency provides essential, public-like services to more than?400,000?registered Palestine Refugees in Syria.
More than?90 per cent?live under the poverty line, relying on Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA¡¯s emergency cash assistance to meet basic needs.
Over?50,000?girls and boys receive education in?more than 100?Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA schools.
Our health teams provided?more than a million?primary healthcare consultations last year, in 22 health facilities and two mobile clinics.
To maintain our current services and accompany the political transition in Syria, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA requires an urgent infusion of funding as well as clarity and a clear delineation of its role within a time-bound political process that addresses the question of Palestine.
Thank you.
