u.n. relief and works agency for refugees in the near east. this year, we have experienced what it means to have upended 70 years of bipartisan agreement on the approach to unra, by which i mean the united states, as i'm sure most of you are well aware, decided formally, on august 31, to no longer fund unra. having long been our largest most prominent donor. constituting 30% of our total budget. in the statement that the u.s. drafted publicly announcing its decision, among other things, it noted that unra is irredeemably flawed. beyond that, we have not yet received clarification about what exactly the u.s. means by that. i think most of you know a lot about unra, or have heard the acronym over the years. but few people realize the scale and scope of our operations. unra today is responsible for educating more than 525,000 students across gaza, west bank, syria, lebanon and jordan. if you took that school system and put it in the united states, it would be the third largest after new york and los angeles. indeed, it is a very sizable public in
