Guyana’s government says it will donate $150,000 to a United Nations agency dealing with Palestinian refugees as it expressed the hope that the current military conflict in the Middle East will soon end.
The money will be channeled through the UN’s Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) mainly for displaced people and others classified as refugees. UNRWA is the primary humanitarian agency in Gaza, with over two million people depending on it for their daily survival,” the foreign ministry said as it announced the donation recently.
“Guyana’s contribution to UNRWA aligns with our appeals for a more robust international response to the ongoing situation in the Gaza Strip and the protection of civilians impacted by the ongoing conflict. To this end, as an elected member of the United Nations Security Council, Guyana supports a ceasefire to facilitate humanitarian aid into Gaza,” the ministry said, noting that” Guyana looks forward to a new day for Palestinians and Israelis beyond the constant shadows of war.
Guyana is prepared to work as a member of the UN Security Council and with the entire UN membership to accelerate the vision of two independent states living side by side in peace and security, and of peaceful Middle East.” Read More
