Secretary-General's remarks to the Ad Hoc Committee of the General Assembly for the announcement of voluntary contributions to UNRWA

Allow me before conveying to you my message as Secretary General in relation to the dramatic needs of support of UNRWA – because this is a matter that really is very emotional to me – to suggest an exercise to all of us.
 
Let’s imagine that I’m not Secretary General of the United Nations, and you are not distinguished representatives of Member States in the UN.
 
But let’s imagine for a moment that we are a young man or woman Palestinian refugee living in Lebanon, or in Syria, or in Jordan, or in Gaza.
