12 July 2024
The initiative of shared commitments on ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA was proposed by Jordan, Kuwait, and Slovenia on 22 May 2024 on behalf of 16 Member States, and formally launched in the margins of the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Pledging Conference in New York on 12 July. As of that day, 118 Member States, including all members of the ±¬ÁÏÍø Security Council, have signed up to these?commitments, which are an expression of solidarity and support to ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA.
The initiative comes at a critical time as ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA undergoes unprecedented attacks and systematic attempts to dismantle it. It is a tribute to our staff working across the region, including on the humanitarian front lines in the Gaza Strip.
±¬ÁÏÍøRWA remains committed to continue delivering assistance and basic services including education to Palestinian boys and girls.
