New York: Pakistan has called for the protection and support of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). In a recent statement, Pakistan emphasized the need for the international community to ensure that UNRWA can fulfill its mandate effectively and without obstacles.

According to Radio Pakistan, Ansar Shah, First Secretary at Pakistan’s Permanent Mission to the UN, addressed the Fourth Committee of the UN General Assembly on the subject of UNRWA. Shah highlighted the necessity for sustained political, financial, and operational backing from the global community to support the agency’s efforts.

The call from Pakistan comes at a time when UNRWA faces challenges in delivering its services to Palestine refugees. The agency provides essential services, including education, health care, and social services, to millions of Palestine refugees across the region. Pakistan’s statement underscores the importance of continued international cooperation and support to ensure the agency’s operations remain uninterrupted.
