- NEW YORK: Saudi Arabia will head the consultative committee of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) from July to be the first Arab country to occupy that position, a statement issued by UNRWA's Commissioner-General Filippo Grandi said.
The position will be for a period of one year, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday.
UNRWA provides relief to more than 4.7 million Palestine refugees in 58 camps in the Occupied Territories.
