Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On August 7, 2018, China signed an agreement to grant 2.35 million USD to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). These funds were delivered and contributed to the 2018 Emergency Appeal for the occupied Palestinian territory, Gaza. The funds were used to distribute emergency food aid during the 4th round of 2018 emergency food distribution from October to December 2018, benefitting close to 5.3 million people. China usually contributes 350,000 USD to UNRWA annually, and the 2.35 million USD donation for the year of 2018 included that amount, according to UNRWA.
