Maldives Increases Annual Aid Contribution to Palestine 10-Fold

The Maldives will raise its annual aid contribution to Palestine from US$5,000 to US$50,000 this year, a ten-fold increase decided by President Mohamed Muizzu, announced by Foreign Minister Moosa Zameer at the launch of the 'Maldivians with Palestine' telethon. Zameer said the funds would be channelled through the Ministry of Finance and MMA under Ministry of Foreign Affairs supervision, with independent auditor Crowe Maldives LLB overseeing the donation and UNRWA deploying it.
