Belgium announced the day before yesterday, its donation of 23 million dollars to UNRWA. Belgium's Deputy Prime Minister Alexander De Croo stated that “This support comes from the premise that UNRWA is the last lifeline for many Palestinian refugees.”
The Deputy Prime Minister added that this sum comes as a response to UNRWA's call for compensation for aid, instead of the 65 million dollars which were provided by the US administration, before it decided to freeze its support to the humanitarian agency.
The Netherlands also announced that it will provide 13 millions Euros to UNRWA, and emergency assistance to those Palestinians who are affected by the lack of money.
On the 16th of January, the United States of America said that it will freeze almost half of its primary assistance, which it planned to give UNRWA.
The US Foreign Administration announced that it will provide UNRWA with 60 million dollars, however it will freeze another 65 million dollars for the meantime, noting that UNRWA should run some amendments that it did not clarify.
