Germany is among the largest donors to UNRWA, having
donated 150 million euros in 2021.
A German delegation headed by head of the German
Representative Office in Ramallah Oliver Owcza, and includes Director of UNRWA
Affairs in
Gaza Thomas White, visited UNRWA Al-Quds School in Jabalia refugee
camp, in the northern Gaza Strip, on Wednesday.
UNRWA is facing increasing demand for its services
due to a rise in the number of registered Palestinian refugees and the degree
of vulnerability and extreme poverty in which they live.
Refugees are almost entirely funded through voluntary
contributions, but financial support has not kept pace with the growing needs.
