UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said that UNRWA is the custodian of the identity and history of Palestine refugees.

He added in a statement published by UNRWA on the "X" platform that the records of Palestinian refugee families have been preserved and archived over the past 75 years.

He pointed out that thanks to UNRWA teams, thousands of archival files were transferred from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to a safe place and converted into digital files.

Lazzarini stressed that preserving these files is essential to protecting the rights of Palestinian refugees under international law.

He stressed that the time has come for a peaceful diplomatic solution that ends the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including addressing the plight of Palestine refugees once and for all.
