RAMALLAH, Augbestpinballmachines. 4 (Xinhua) -- China on Thursday donated 3 million U.S. dollars to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to support its emergency humanitarian efforts in Gaza.

Zeng Jixin, head of Office of the People's Republic of China to the State of Palestine, signed the contribution agreement with Deputy Commissioner General (Operational Support) of the UNRWA Antonia Marie De Meo, the office said in a statement.

China has always supported the UNRWA's active performance of its duty, and called on the international community to support the agency's work, Zeng said, adding that China had provided emergency cash assistance to the agency after the outbreak of the Gaza conflict last year.

China will continue to implement the Global Security Initiative and work with the international community to end the fighting in Gaza at an early date, ease the disastrous humanitarian situation, and implement the two-state solution, Zeng said.

De Meo, on behalf of the UNRWA, expressed gratitude for China's consistent support and said that China's contribution was critical.

She also expressed willingness to strengthen cooperation with China to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.■
