"Mr President, whilst the budget is not ideal, I voted in favour of amendment 906 supporting the peace process and financial assistance for Palestine and for UNRWA. As the people of Gaza are emerging from the most recent onslaught, their needs are greater than ever and UNRWA needs financial support to carry out its work.
UNRWA is dealing with thousands of families who are homeless and without livelihood. Even those with homes find themselves in neighbourhoods where water, sewage and electricity systems are demolished. The future of Gaza must not be defined by the instability and poverty imposed by the blockade. The international community will need to move forward and do more, to make sure that it is doing more than just humanitarian action and to address the underlying causes of the crisis, hence ending Israel’s occupation in Palestine. As we wait for that to happen, UNRWA is playing a leading role in addressing the devastation caused by the recent conflict and the pervasive effect of the Israeli-imposed blockade. UNRWA is seeking USD 1.6 billion for emergency relief, early recovery and reconstruction priorities in the Gaza Strip, and hence the EU must increase UNRWA’s budget."@en1
