Saudis give $50 million to cash-strapped UN agency for Palestinian refugees

[IsraelTimes] UNRWA thanks Riyadh for ’very generous and crucial’ donation as it works to overcome US aid cuts that caused its ’worst financial crisis ever’.

Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

agency for Paleostine refugees, the organization’s leader said Friday, amid a funding shortfall following the US decision to cut all financial aid.

Pierre Krahenbuhl, commissioner-general of United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Paleostine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA, signed an agreement to finalize the transfer of Saudi funds during a visit to the Gulf kingdom.

The agency said the donation was the "fulfillment of the pledge" made by King Salman
...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Lord of Most of the Arabians....
in April and brought Saudi Arabia’s total contribution for the year to $160 million.

Krahenbuhl said at the time the US cuts left UNRWA in the "worst crisis" it has ever faced, but the agency said last month it has nearly overcome the $446 million funding shortfall.

He credited the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
and especially the Gulf countries of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world.

, and the United Arab Emirates with increasing support.
