Beirut, Ramadan 20, 1439, June 05, 2018, SPA -- UNRWA regional director general in Lebanon Claudio Cordone disclosed today that his organization is facing its history's worst financial crisis. In a message to the Palestinian Refugees Community in Lebanon, Kordoni said the total deficit of the agency's budget reached before Rome conference last March about $446 million. He explained that the US administration's decision to halt a big share of its financial contribution to the UNRWA budget has deprived it from $300 million and put the agency's ability to continue its operations as usual to risk. --SPA 21:58 LOCAL TIME 18:58 GMT 0036 www.spa.gov.sa/w699537
