Belgium pledges $23M to UNRWA after US cut
|
[Ynet] Belgium is stepping in to help the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees with a pledge of $23 million, days after the USA announced it will be cutting funds for UNRWA in half.
Deputy Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said Wednesday that "for a lot of Paleostinian refugees, the UNRWA is the last life buoy."
Among the group's projects are helping half a million children get an education and fending off attempts to radicalize them.
De Croo said he was responding to the global fundraising appeal in hopes of making up for funding cuts announced by the United States. The 19 million euros is Belgium's allocation for three years, but De Croo's office said it would be "disbursed immediately.
