The UN agency for Palestinians, Unrwa, and the Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) signed an agreement on Sunday to aid more than 4,400 Palestinian workers and patients from Gaza stranded in the occupied West Bank.
The Qatar Fund for Development will provide Unrwa and the Qatar Red Crescent with $4.5m to provide assistance to Palestinians from Gaza in the West Bank, according to a statement by QRCS.
"Thousands of Palestinian refugees from Gaza remain trapped in the West Bank, stuck in a painful limbo, and cut off from their loved ones and livelihoods," Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of Unrwa, said.
