Malaysia perbaharui ikrar USD1 juta kepada UNRWA
Menteri Luar Mohamad Hasan seru negara lain meningkatkan pembiayaan kepada agensi itu demi bela pelarian Palestin.
Malaysia has renewed its pledge of USD1 million to UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees, for a period spanning 2026-2030. Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan stated that the predictable funding is crucial for UNRWA to continue assisting Palestinian refugees. In 2021-2025, Malaysia committed USD1 million to UNRWA for the same timeframe.
However, due to the ongoing war in Gaza, Malaysia has significantly increased its support, contributing over USD6 million to the agency since November 2023. During the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly, Malaysia stressed the importance of maintaining UNRWA's operations without any hindrance. The agency provides basic assistance, protection, and services to millions of Palestinian refugees in the region.
Malaysia has been a consistent contributor to UNRWA since 1978, making a first five-year commitment of USD1 million for 2021-2025, but has significantly increased its support following the escalation of the war in Gaza.
