The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) Karen Koning AbuZayd thanked the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its continued and intensive support to the Palestinian people as well as its provision of necessary needs to them. The Commissioner-General praised the constructive role played by the Saudi Committee for the Relief of Palestinian People (SCRPP), supervised by the Interior Minister Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz, in helping the Palestinian refugees and supporting UNRWA in this regard. The Commissioner-General pointed out that UNRWA and SCRPP are working to expand cooperation through launching a programme that covers a number of important projects aiming at helping refugees and afflicted people in the Gaza Strip and a number of Palestinian camps in Lebanon.
