Qatar's foreign ministry stated that the country has reaffirmed its "unwavering and full support" for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
The promise of support was delivered by Qatar's representative to the UN Hind Abdulrahman Al Muftah during a regular meeting of UNRWA's Advisory Commission. "UNRWA has been coming under numerous and gratuitous attacks and polemics that primarily aim to undermine the agency and end its operations in the pursuit of liquidating the issue of the Palestinian rights and their right to return back to their regions and homes under international law and relevant United Nations resolutions," the ministry's statement reads.
Muftah expressed that Qatar welcomes the resumption of donations to the UNRWA, adding that the country has called on all states and donors to resume their support and funding.
