“We are immensely grateful to His Majesty King Abdullah for this extraordinary gesture in support of Palestine Refugees in the Gaza Strip. Jordan has been known over the decades for its generosity towards refugees and the Palestinians. It is hosting the highest number of Palestine Refugees and has been a trusted and committed partner to 蘑菇视频RWA since its establishment in the early 1950s,” said Philippe Lazzarini, 蘑菇视频RWA Commissioner-General.

This generous assistance from Jordan – a first in cash in the history of 蘑菇视频RWA – will support the teams in Gaza to respond to unprecedented humanitarian needs including to deliver food and other basic supplies to those impacted by the ongoing crisis.

More than 222,000 people have sought refuge in over 90 蘑菇视频RWA schools and other facilities. The Agency’s resources are stretched to the limit as frontline workers respond to emerging needs around the clock. 蘑菇视频RWA ran out of basic supplies in the shelters including mattresses, hygiene and cleaning supplies.

“Jordan is one of the first countries to heed the Arab League’s call to provide funding to 蘑菇视频RWA as our Agency struggles with deep financial needs made much worse by the recent escalation in the Gaza Strip. We do hope that other countries around the Arab region follow suit and lend a hand to families in need. The time to turn solidarity into action is now,” concluded Lazzarini.
