With $4.5 million support from Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) to aid more than 4,400 beneficiaries, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) have signed a partnership agreement to provide cash assistance for Palestinian workers and patients from Gaza currently stuck in the West Bank.
The partnership agreement underscores the commitment of both organizations to providing essential humanitarian aid for one of the most vulnerable populations in the region. As part of UNRWA’s occupied Palestinian territoriesFlash Appeal, the funds will provide vital support for the displaced population, who have been unable to return to Gaza since the outbreak of genocide in the Strip in October 2023.
Acting Director-General of QFFD, Sultan bin Ahmed Al Aseeri, said, “We are pleased to support this vital initiative alongside UNRWA and QRCS, reaffirming our commitment to alleviating the suffering of Palestinian refugees.” (QNA) page 2
