I will stay with the funding theme I opened with. I assume the actual spending of UNRWA in the region is split between staff costs, which I imagine are the bulk of the spend, and purchasing supplies, food, medicine, etc. If there is a stockpile building - Mr. Whyte mentioned that up to three month's worth has built up at the border - I assume some of this is perishable or maybe not. Is that stockpile sufficient? Is there any point in continuing to add to that or is it at a level that you would seek just to sustain and then add to at a future date?

On the wages aspect, how are the UNRWA personnel getting paid? I assume the financial system has collapsed there. Mr. Whyte talked earlier about there maybe not even being sufficient funds to pay them, but hopefully there are. How does that get to them? In a war situation, what use is currency on the ground? Does it have value?
