The head of the UN’s relief agency for Palestinian refugees warns of the consequence of a funding crisis, saying it was unable to pay 28,000 employees on time this month and may cut vital services to millions of people.

On September 16, 1982 Lebanese militias armed by Israel stormed into the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in Beirut and brutally killed up to 3,500 civilians.
