United Arab Emirates announces USD 15M aid to rebuild Jenin refugee camp

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Thursday pledged dollars 15 million to help rebuild the Jenin refugee camp after Israel’s largest military operation in the occupied West Bank in nearly two decades.

This came during a call between the UAE Foreign Minister, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the Commissioner-General of UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, during



which they discussed ways to support the agency at various levels.

The UAE foreign minister informed the commissioner that the UAE decided to open a joint account and contribute 15 million dollars to support UNRWA operations and services, and to provide urgent assistance to Palestinian families, especially the rehabilitation of losses in the city of Jenin and its camp.
