Kuwait delivered late on Thursday USD one million to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to aid Syrian refugees who fled to neighboring countries fleeing repression of the regime forces. The permanent delegate of Kuwait to the UN, Ambassador Mansour Al-Otaibi, delivered a check of the donation to the head of the agency, Udo Janz, during a meeting on Thursday. Ambassador Al-Otaibi said in a statement carried by Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) after the meeting, \"This assistance comes in the framework of the keenness of Kuwait to provide assistance and humanitarian aid to Syrian refugees who are in neighboring countries, Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.\" He added that the donation was given in line with a relevant pledge made by Kuwait during the \'\'Syria\'s friends\'\' conference held recently in Istanbul , Turkey. He also indicated that the Kuwaiti associations had donated up to USD 12 million, raised in public campaign, to the Syrian refugees. More than 130,000 Syrian refugees were estimated to have fled Syria, mostly finding refuge in neighboring Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. The United Nations and its humanitarian partners late last month launched an appeal for USD 84 million to help those refugees.
