Norway Increases Contribution to ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA by 50 percent<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere announced on Friday that Norway is increasing its contribution to ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA’s General Fund by 50 per cent.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Mr Stoere made Norway’s commitment to strengthen its support for ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA in a meeting in Oslo with the Agency’s Commissioner-General, Ms Karen Koning AbuZayd.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Norway’s contribution to ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA’s General Fund will now be 150 million Kroner (24.8 million USD).<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Coming out of the meeting Mr Stoere expressed his hope “that ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA will be able to cope with what is bound to be an increased demand on their services”.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Commissioner-General described the dramatic increase in the demand for ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA’s services to Palestine refugees in Gaza and the West Bank as a result of the deterioration of the Palestinian economy.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

“We have a five-fold increase in people coming to ask us for cash and other help”, she said.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

This contribution will help ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA deliver humanitarian relief and provide education, healthcare and social services to over 4.3 million Palestine refugees living in the Gaza Strip, West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Commissioner-General is currently on a tour to the four Nordic capitals where she will meet with senior officials, ministers and heads of state.<\/p><\/div>\n
