The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center pledged $50 million in aid on Wednesday to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).
The announcement was made at a news conference in the Saudi capital by KSrelief Director Abdullah al-Rabeea.
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia provides a financial contribution of USD 50 million through KSrelief to UNRWA in support of the activities in the West Bank & Gaza,” the center said on its Twitter account.
The administration of US President Donald Trump decided in August to end all funding to UNRWA, dealing a massive blow to its already stretched finances.
More than five million registered Palestinian refugees are eligible to receive support from the agency.
