The pledge underscores Indonesia's backing for the UN agency's mandate to deliver education, healthcare, and emergency assistance to vulnerable populations.
The commitment reflects Indonesia's broader diplomatic stance toward Middle Eastern humanitarian concerns and its role as an active participant in international development assistance. The contribution will help sustain UNRWA's operations in camps and host communities where the agency serves millions of refugees.
