UNRWA welcomes an announcement by the Government of Germany that it is providing EUR 45 million in new contributions to the Agency\u2019s work in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these new contributions, Germany is now our top donor, something I am deeply grateful for. Germany\u2019s solidarity with UNRWA is a proof of its commitment to contributing to the human development of Palestine Refugees, and to their right to a dignified life,\u201d said UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini.<\/p>\n

The new funds include EUR 15 million to support essential health and education services to Palestine Refugees in Jordan and Lebanon, and EUR 7 million for cash-for-work activities for Palestine Refugees in Lebanon, both from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). In addition, they will include EUR 23 million for emergency cash assistance to Palestine Refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, and for general food assistance in the West Bank, from the Federal Foreign Office.<\/p>\n

Additional support by Germany to UNRWA, namely for its operations in the Gaza Strip, will depend on the progress of an ongoing investigation by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services into allegations made by the Israeli Authorities against 12 of UNRWA\u2019s 30,000 staff, as well as on the results and recommendations of a separate Independent Review of the Agency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
