analysis: The text appears to be a report on the operations and financial situation of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) for the period 1 July 1984 to 30 June 1985. The report discusses the agency's financial difficulties, including a shortfall of several million dollars, and the measures being taken to address this situation. The report also touches on the agency's operations in Lebanon, which have been affected by continuing violence, and summarizes its regular operations in education, health, and relief services.
