GAZA, Jul 19 (NNN-WAFA) – The partnership between the United States and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), is fully restored, a senior UNRWA official said.
The UNRWA media advisor in Gaza, Adnan Abu Hasna, said, the U.S. financial aid to the UNRWA has reached 320 million U.S. dollars this year, which is “close to the same level of financial aid as the United States used to donate, before former President Donald Trump.”
In 2018, Trump took a series of actions against the Palestinians, the most significant of which was stopping the U.S. financial aid to the UNRWA, which reached 360 million U.S. dollars per year.
The renewal of the U.S. financial aid to the UNRWA “is a sign of confidence and a message to the others that the partnership between UNRWA and the United States is fully restored,” Abu Hasna said.
