The Minister affirmed Tunisia’s readiness to inquire funders at the bilateral and multilateral levels, to boost financial support and help the UNRWA agency fulfil its noble humanitarian mission in the protection of refugees.
For his part, Christian Saunders stretched his gratitude to Tunisia for the support provided to the agency, manifesting faith in Tunisia’s capacity to continue its genuine efforts to raise funds for UNRWA at this difficult stage in which the entire international community is living through as it faces the coronavirus pandemic.
