RAMALLAH: A UN report published on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) called for a strategic approach to address the economic and fiscal crisis facing the Palestinian Authority and urged all parties 'to respond in a coordinated and integrated way to solve this precarious situation.'

'The current political, economic and security challenges in the Palestinian territories risk perpetuating a continuous cycle of crisis management,' said the report issued by the office of the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, ahead of an upcoming meeting of the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC) in Brussels on Tuesday.
