U.N. Appreciates Saudi Donation of $25 Mln for Housing 500 Palestinian Families in Lebanon
United Nations, May 08, SPA--The United Nations on Thursday said that
a donation of $25 million from Saudi Arabia will enable 500
Palestinian families to return to newly constructed homes in Nahr
el-Bared refugee camp in north Lebanon.
The camp, home to some 27,000 displaced Palestinians, was destroyed
in the summer of 2007 after heavy fighting between the Lebanese army
and Palestinian militants.
“The contribution of Saudi Development Fund will complete financing
for the reconstruction of the infrastructure and the housing units,
thus enabling around 500 displaced families to return to their
newly-reconstructed houses and businesses in the camp,” a statement
from the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said.
