UNRWA funds are sufficient for only two months, and UNICEF presents its testimony about hunger in Gaza. Lazzarini's disclosure of the size of UNRWA's resources came after a number of donors stopped funding the agency due to Israeli accusations that some of its employees participated in the Al-Aqsa Flood operation.

This agency provides its services to approximately 5.9 million people, and about two-thirds of this number live in 58 recognized refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
