The head of UNRWA is expected in Brussels on Monday to attempt to persuade European countries to continue donating after some suspended financial transfers. Philippe Lazzarini is due to hold an unprecedented meeting with the EU’s 27 foreign ministers to brief them on the agency’s dire finances. “We are doing everything possible so that hopefully our donors that suspended funding will reconsider; for other donors to increase funding; and for new donors to come in,” Juliette Touma, UNRWA director of communications stated.
