Spain _ Palestine News Network
The Spanish government has announced an additional contribution of 10 million euros to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
The Spanish Embassy, in a statement published by the Jordan news agency Petra, said Sunday evening that the contribution would be directed to funding the agency´s regular activities, which are aimed primarily at providing social support to Palestinian refugees, especially in the health and education sectors.
The contribution comes in response to the United States ´ decision to cut off aid from the agency, which has led to a worsening of the financial situation, she said.
This contribution is added to those that Spain routinely provides to UNRWA, which this year included the provision of half a million euros for agency activities in Jordan.
