Sharjah: The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Regional Representative to the GCC Countries, Khaled Khalifa yesterday said the government of Qatar is one of the largest donor governments, which cooperates with international institutions and international organisations providing relief and support for refugees in the Arab region and abroad.
The UNHCR official told Qatar News Agency on the sidelines of the International Government Communication Forum which concluded in Sharjah yesterday that Qatar is distinguished by an on-the-ground presence of a large number of its non-governmental organisations in terms of number and quality of performance in various countries of asylum. He pointed out that the GCC countries are among the countries, which support the refugees and are ranked among the top 20 donor countries in the world, noting in this regard the growing cooperation with the UN organisations recently to meet challenges. Kuwait has hosted three conferences to support Syria, which raised nearly $7bn, he said, adding that the United Arab Emirates plays a pioneering role in this field.
