Dozens of Palestinian refugees protested in Jabaliya camp northern Gaza strip against the meeting of Robert Kerner, director of UNRWA operations in Gaza, with representative of Palestinian families and against the organization's shortage of services.
The protesters chanted angry slogans, condemning UNRWA new policy that affects poor families, calling for increasing UNRWA services.
The Agency's new policy of reduction caused anger among the residents who receive aid from the UNRWA, estimated at about 21 thousand families.
UNRWA Commissioner General Filippo Grandi has declared on Thursday that most of donor countries will not provide financial support for the agency in the next phase.
The Popular Committee for the Refugees stated that the agency refused to meet them under the pretext of security reasons, expressing its refusal to the reduction of the agency's financial services especially in light of the families' extreme suffering and poverty.
The committee called on the UNRWA to reconsider its decision to reduce its services especially with the families' difficult living conditions.
The Popular Committees have organized sit-in on Sunday and Monday outside UNRWA's offices in Gaza strip in protest against the reduction of services.
