Palestine, as an observer of the UPU's work with the right to directly exchange postal services with Union member countries, has asked the International Bureau to inform Union member countries and their designated operators that the Palestinian government has announced the suspension of work in the public sector, including postal services, on Thursday, 27 January 2022 owing to the difficult weather conditions in the country.
Consequently, Palestine asks Union member countries and their designated operators to take into account these exceptional circumstances and to expect delays in the processing of postal items as a result.
