The IPU reaffirms its steadfast support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which delivers vital humanitarian aid, education, and health services to millions of Palestinians.
UNRWA's mission is crucial in mitigating the suffering of the people in the region, including women, children, and the elderly, who face increasingly dire circumstances due to the ongoing war.
The IPU's endorsement of UNRWA is strengthened by a recent resolution adopted at its 149th Assembly in Geneva, which emphasizes the IPU's unwavering commitment to multilateralism through the United Nations system and other global institutions. The resolution underscores that the IPU "Fully respects that the United Nations remains the cornerstone of the multilateral system and of international cooperation and pledges its full support for its mission through a deepening cooperation".
