\n

UNRWA has received a contribution of US$ 2 million from the Government of Iraq towards the Agency’s core programmes.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Iraq’s resumed contribution to the Agency comes at a time when UNRWA is facing a chronic deficit in its core budget to provide services such as health, education and relief to the over 4.8 million registered refugees under UNRWA’s care.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Welcoming the contribution, UNRWA Commissioner-General, Mr Filippo Grandi said: “We are delighted to receive this donation from the Government of Iraq, a valuable contributor to the Agency in the past. The resumption of annual payments to the Agency comes at a particular time of need for both the Agency and the refugees, and we look forward to deepening this reestablishment of cooperation between UNRWA and the Republic of Iraq.”<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Iraq had previously been a steady supporter to the Agency, contributing in the region of US$ 12 million over the course of the 1980s. The new contribution makes Iraq equal top Arab donor to UNRWA's regular annual budget.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
