Saudi Arabia donates 15 tonnes of dates to refugees in Lebanon for Ramadan<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

03 August 2010
\nBeirut<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has donated 15 tonnes of dates to ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA for Palestine refugees living in Lebanon. The donation comes in time for the upcoming Ramadan period, when the daily fast is traditionally broken with the eating of dates.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The dates were officially handed over at the Saudi Embassy in Beirut in the presence of His Excellency Ali Awad Osseiri, Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon, Roger Davies, ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA’s Deputy Director in Lebanon, and Abdallah Abdallah, the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Lebanon.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The donation marks the continuation of the Kingdom’s policy of humanitarian support to Palestine refugees. The Saudi government has pledged USD$25 million for the reconstruction of Nahr el-Bared camp in northern Lebanon, destroyed during intense fighting in 2007.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

As of 2010, the Kingdom has also increased its regular contribution to ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA to USD$2 million per year. In addition, since July 2010 the Kingdom has chaired ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA’s advisory committee.<\/p><\/div>\n
