Delivering India’s statement at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) pledging conference, he reaffirmed New Delhi’s historic and commitment to the peaceful resolution of the Palestine question. He said that India had taken a position on the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza and condemned the death of civilians, especially women and children.
‘The terrorist attack on October 7 last year deserves our unequivocal condemnation, and we demand the unconditional release of all hostages’, he said. R Ravindra noted that UNRWA’s role in mitigating the difficult humanitarian situation remains critical, particularly, its humanitarian and social services to the Palestinian refugee community living in Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon.
Underlining that India has been a trusted partner for the people of Palestine, he said New Delhi’s developmental contribution to Palestine in many forms over the years amounts to nearly $120 million.
