Washington s pledge to fund the UN agency for Palestinian refugees was greeted with relief in Bethlehem, where residents hoped the promise may bring an end to the hardship of recent years.
“People need the support and help,” said Fatima Abu Salim, a resident of Bethlehem’s Aida refugee camp, after Washington announced a $150 million donation to the agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).
“We’re very happy that they’re helping the Palestinian people,” said the 58-year-old, who arrived at a
health centre built by the agency.
The $4m project was funded by Saudi Arabia, providing doctors, dentists and a laboratory to nearly 7,000 residents, as well as Palestinians living beyond Aida.

ROME: World food prices rose for a 10th consecutive month in March, hitting their highest level since June 2014, led by jumps in vegetable oils, meat and dairy indices, the United Nations food agency said on Thursday.
The Food and Agriculture Organization’s food price index, which measures monthly changes for a basket of cereals, oilseeds, dairy products, meat and sugar, averaged 118.5 points last month versus a slightly revised 116.1 in February.
The February figure was previously given as 116.0.
The Rome-based FAO also said in a statement that worldwide cereal harvests remained on course to hit an annual record in 2020, adding that early indications pointed to a further increase in production this year.
