UNRWA Chief pays tribute to Arab Donors 2 United Nations
“Saudi Arabia has made a timely pledge of $25 million for rebuilding the Nahr El
Bared Camp in Lebanon,” AbuZayd said. She also noted Kuwait’s $34 million
donation for Gaza rebuilding.
Still, despite the generosity, UNRWA is in a financially precarious situation and
“unless donors significantly increase their donations in the coming year” the
agency “may be forced to make painful cuts” in services to refugees, she said.
AbuZayd was speaking alongside Egyptian Ambassador Hazim Khairat, who chairs
UNRWA’s advisory committee, and Saudi Ambassador to U.N. Ahmed Abdulaziz Qattan,
the vice-chair of the advisory committee.
