<p>GAZA, February 19, 2012 (WAFA) &#8211; Zakaria al-Agha, the head of PLO&#8217;s Department for Refugee Affairs, Sunday in a statement rejected UNRWA’s policy to cut services provided for Palestinian refugees to close the organization’s budget deficit.</p>
<p>Al-Agha said UNRWA halted payment of complementary-support allowances to families below poverty line and halted payment of compensatory financial aid that covers the basic food needs of 108.000 of the poorest refugees in Gaza.</p>
<p>“UNRWA’s policy of reducing services provided to Palestinian refugees is absolutely rejected and is not the solution to the organization’s financial crisis; the policy will have negative repercussions on the livelihood of Palestinians in refugee camps,” he added.</p>
<p>Al-Agha called on the donor countries to uphold their responsibilities and financial obligations towards UNRWA in order to solve its current financial crisis and close its fiscal deficit.</p>
