Thailand Pledges $200,000 to Aid Palestinian Refugees
Thailand pledged $200,000 in five-year funding to support Palestinian refugees through the UN Relief and Works Agency, plus an additional $50,000 for emergency humanitarian assistance.
Thailand has pledged $200,000 in renewed multi-year funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) for the 2027–2031 period, reaffirming its support for Palestinian refugees.
The announcement was made by Charge d'Affaires a.i. Pawaree Xuto Chaipatiyut at the 2026 UNRWA Pledging Conference on 30 June.
In addition to the five-year commitment, Thailand also announced an extra $50,000 contribution to support UNRWA's 2026 Flash Appeal, which provides emergency humanitarian assistance to Palestinian refugees.
Speaking at the conference, Pawaree said the international community should continue providing strong political support to ensure UNRWA can carry out its mandate independently and impartially.
"Supporting UNRWA is not only a humanitarian imperative, but also an investment in dignity, stability, and hope for millions of Palestine refugees," she said.
