[PRESSTV] Staff members at the United Nations...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine Refugees (UNRWA) have gone on strike in the besieged Gazoo Strip to protest against job losses and US funding cuts.
Schools, clinics, and food distributions were halted on Monday as UNRWA's 13,000 Paleostinian employees in Gazoo went on a one-day strike.
The strike closed more than 250 UNRWA schools in Gazoo. More than 200,000 Paleostinians attend its schools in the coastal enclave.
Amal al-Batsh, deputy head of the UNRWA Employees Union, said in a statement that a protest took place outside the agency's Gazoo headquarters.
"The strike comes in light of the (UNRWA) administration's lack of responsiveness to the demands of the employees' union and their insistence on not solving their problems," the statement read.
Separately, UNRWA's front man Chris Gunness said the agency regretted the strike. "We regret any action that negatively impacts the services we provide to refugees, particularly in a place like Gazoo where after a more than decade of blockade they have suffered enough."
The UN agency has been suffering from a financial crisis which was exacerbated after the administration of US President Donald Trump

decided to cut all support.
UNRWA says the funding deficit caused by the Trump administration's withdrawal of support is so severe cuts are unavoidable. More than 250 jobs have been cut in Gazoo and the West Bank so far, while hundreds of full-time roles have become part-time.
