The United Nations Relief and
Works Agency (UNRWA) was very much pleased to inform in a press release about
the generous donation made by Kuwait government to help the refugees from
Palestine across the Middle East. Kuwait donated a sum of $15 million for the
human development team of UNRWA.
The Permanent Representative of
the State of Kuwait, Mansour Al-Otaib announced at a ceremony held at Geneva on
June 11 about the country’s contribution to UNRWA. The funds were finally given
at a UN meet held in New York by the Representative himself.
UNRWA Commissioner General Pierre
Krähenbühl was pleased by this act of Kuwait and thanked the Amir of Kuwait and
its people for its generosity. He also added that these funds are to be used
for the many refugees who unwantedly were caught up in war in Syria. This will
help to fulfil their daily needs and provide them with basic necessities of
life who are meanwhile living under the blockade and occupation in Gaza and the
West Bank.
Kuwait has donating selflessly to
the UNRWA and has been their consistent donors whenever there were times of
crisis. In 2014, UNRWA was helped with $14 million by Kuwait. Also, in 2013,
$29 million was funded to the UNRWA.
