The UN’s Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, will persist in delivering aid to those in the Palestinian territories despite an Israeli ban set to take effect by the end of January, its director confirmed on Wednesday.
"We will stay and deliver," UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said at a conference in Oslo. He assured that the agency’s local staff would remain on the ground to provide emergency assistance, as well as education and primary healthcare where feasible.
