UNRWA Pleased by Kuwait’s Generous Donation to Help Palestine Refugees across Middle East

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.
