This coming Friday,  UNRWA donor nations  gather at UN headquarters, as reported in the Jordan Times*,  to discuss what UNRWA describes as a downfall in donations for UNRWA, operating 59 “temporary” refugee camps for 6.7 million descendants of the Arabs who left their homes in the wake of the 1948  war .

As reported in this release, not all of the  donors have fulfilled their pledges to UNRWA.

The largest donor to hold back its pledge to UNRWA is the US, which signed an accord with UNRWA in July 2021 which mandated that revisions of the UNRWA curriculum, devoid of  incitement, would be the requirement for renewal of US funds to UNRWA
