UNRWA Head calls for Europeans to Act

title: "The head of the UN relief agency in the Palestinian territories warned of the risk of a humanitarian and security crisis on Wednesday and urged European Union countries to give a chance to a new Hamas-led government.

Israel froze transfers of tax revenues to the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority after Hamas won the Jan. 25 Palestinian election.

Karen AbuZayd, commissioner-general of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), said she hoped the situation 'will be corrected after the Israeli elections' on March 28."
