Brazil announced a pledge of $7.5 million to UNRWA on Friday, in a move described as an unprecedented contribution from the Latin American country, Palestinian Authority media reported. The official news agency in Ramallah, Wafa, reported that the announcement was delivered at a ceremony in Gaza between the Brazilian representative to the PA, Ligia Maria Scherer, and UNRWA chief Filippo Grandi. "These important contributions will make Brazil one of UNRWA’s most significant donors and will help the Agency meet the rising needs of the refugee population it serves," Wafa reported, quoting a statement. Scherer also expressed Brazil's concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, Wafa said. "We believe in this connection that UNRWA's mission is essential in addressing the needs of Palestinian refugees, due to its presence on the ground and specific mandate within the UN system. "The international acknowledgement and the local appreciation of the Agency’s work bear witness to its vital role. Strengthening UNRWA is critical to help the Palestinian people," Scherer said.
