On Thursday, the Turkish Foreign Ministry announced that its country has provided an additional $10 million this year, in voluntary contributions to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
The Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement that "Ankara transferred the amount mentioned to UNRWA, which is currently experiencing a financial crisis," adding that "Turkey provided the additional amount so that UNRWA's health and education services to Palestinian refugees would not be stopped."
UNRWA is suffering from major financial crises that have reduced its services to Palestinian refugees, because the United States has reduced its aid to UNRWA.
