Bangladesh pledges $50,000 for Palestine refugeesThe pledging conference was convened by the President of the General Assembly. The Commissioner General of UNRWA briefed the member States in the meeting.

The Deputy Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the UN in New York, Dr. Md. Monwar Hossain declared the pledge on behalf of the Government of Bangladesh.

In his statement, he expressed concern regarding the perennial funding shortfalls of UNRWA and emphasize on securing "sustainable, predictable and sufficient" funding.

He also mentioned that UNRWA was established on a temporary basis to support the Palestinians. However, providing support is not the solution, the only solution to this crisis is ending the Israeli illegal occupation by achieving the two-State solution on the basis of the pre-1967 borders.

UNRWA was established by UN General Assembly resolution in 1949 with a humanitarian and development mandate to provide assistance and protection to Palestine refugees pending a just and lasting solution to their plight. At present, there are 5.9 million Palestinians are registered as refugee.
