The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has resumed its operations within the Ein El Hilweh camp for Palestine refugees in Lebanon, following a week-long suspension of services due to armed clashes.
UNRWA Health Centre II was reopened today and resumed provision of medical care to Palestine Refugee patients.
Director of UNRWA Affairs in Lebanon Dorothee Klaus hoped that the camp would remain calm, adding that UNRWA will consecutively support clearance of rubble and reinstatement of damaged water networks and electricity lines.
“A secure environment is necessary for UNRWA to operate. We are collaborating with partners to prepare clearance of affected camp sites once possible, to ensure the safety of the community and UNRWA staff from remnants of the war,” said Klaus. (QNA)
