Japan Donates US$ 2.4 million to Nahr el-Bared Camp Reconstruction<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Beirut — e Japanese Ambassador to Lebanon, H.E. Koichi Kawakami, and the Director of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA Affairs in Lebanon, Salvatore Lombardo, signed today an exchange of notes formalizing a ¥201 million (US$ 2.4 million) donation to the Reconstruction of Nahr el-Bared Palestine refugee camp in north Lebanon.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

This contribution will be earmarked to the reconstruction of Package 3, which includes the main commercial street and as such is a key component of the Nahr el-Bared camp reconstruction.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Currently US$ 207m are still required to complete the reconstruction of the camp of which US$ 7.7 million are still needed for Package 3 only.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The destruction of Nahr el-Bared camp in the conflict of 2007, and the subsequent displacement of some 27,000 Palestine refugees from the camp and its adjacent areas created a humanitarian crisis, the effects of which are still being felt three years on. Thanks to donor contributions since 2007, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA has been able to meet the most basic needs of the displaced refugees.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The physical reconstruction of the camp started in November 2009, with construction underway for two packages out of eight, and three of six Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA schools. Nevertheless, the long-term recovery of the camp and its residents is by no means assured, and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA’s support to the displaced refugees continues to be vital.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

In the aftermath of the NBC conflict, Japan responded very generously to the humanitarian emergency, by contributing a total of US$ 6,531,257 to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA for Nahr el-Bared relief assistance under the Flash Appeal and Emergency Appeal.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

This contribution is even more commendable after the terrible earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan recently, causing wide scale destruction and lots of human suffering.<\/p><\/div>\n
