UNRWA has declared that it has received a donation worth 10 million US dollars from Turkey in support of its programs.
UNRWA said in a press release on Wednesday that Turkey pledged 26000 metric tons of wheat in support of nearly one million refugees in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Turkish president Recep Erdogan met with UNRWA commissioner general Pierre Krahenbuhl in Ankara on Tuesday.
According to the press release Erdogan stressed his commitment to the support of the agency and the Palestinian refugees saying “we will stand with UNRWA at this delicate time and mobilize our national mechanisms to support its ‘Dignity is Priceless’ campaign during Ramadan.”
Krahenbuhl considered the meeting “a source of encouragement” and stressed that “UNRWA services for 526000 students and millions of Palestine refugees must be preserved.”
