This is an overview of UNRWA's budget priorities, from its website:


Over half of UNRWA's budget goes towards education - far more than for housing or medical services. As we have seen, UNRWA's education is fixated on teaching generations of Palestinian Arabs that they will "return" to destroy Israel, and hate and intolerance towards Jews.

But this education, which UNRWA tries hard to hide, is their number one priority.

What about helping real refugees? You know, the thing that refugee agencies are supposed to do?

Sorry, says UNRWA - those guys are on their own, even if they are considered Palestinian.

Dozens of Palestinian families that fled to Lebanon from Syria are now homeless, after the U.N. relief agency stopped paying refugee rent fees earlier this month, the National News Agency reported Wednesday.

The families are now squatting in a number of schools in the Beddawi refugee camp, located in north Lebanon.

Vowing not to leave until UNRWA revokes its decision to cut rent fees granted to refugees, the families were seen unpacking their luggage inside the schools.

UNRWA halted payment of aid for housing subsidies due to a massive budget shortfall. The agency was giving refugees between $150 - 250 a month toward housing.
By my calculations, UNRWA spends about $150 a month per child for schooling. For the same amount of money they can house an entire family for a month - a family that would otherwise be homeless.

And because of the bizarre rules of the UN, since these families' ancestors happened to be in British Mandate Palestine in 1947, they are ineligible from getting aid from UNHCR, the other UN refugee agency that supports every refugee except those whom UNRWA calls "Palestinian."

In other words, the UN's only refugee agency for Syrians of Palestinian origin are giving their basic needs a far lower priority than indoctrinating Jordanian or PA citizens (who are not refugees by any definition) with anti-Israel and antisemitic hate. Oh, and they are also in danger of being deported back to Syria.

Real refugees are not UNRWA's priority.

What a sick, sick agency.
