UNRWA workers
Gaza City - MENA
Kuwait has donated $15 million for UNRWA’s human development work with Palestine refugees, Saturday announced the UNRWA in a press release, WAFA News Agency reported.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said that Kuwait has donated the money for its work with Palestine refugees across the Middle East.
The donation was announced at a ceremony in Geneva on 11 June, with the funds being passed to UNRWA by Mansour Al-Otaibi, the Permanent Representative of the State of Kuwait to the UN at a ceremony held in New York Saturday.
“This welcome donation comes at a crucial time for UNRWA as developments in the region dramatically increase the needs of our refugees, many of whom are caught up in the civil war in Syria and who are living under blockade and occupation in Gaza and the West Bank”, said UNRWA Commissioner General Pierre Krähenbühl.
“There are unprecedented pressures on our resources and I thank the Emir and people of Kuwait for this timely donation,” he added.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
