Riyadh, Feb 13, SPA -- Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz, the Interior Minister and Supervisor General of the Saudi Committee for Assisting the Palestinian People, has received a message from James Morris, the Head of the UN's World Food Program (WFP). Morris expressed appreciation for the generous support extended by the Saudi Committee for Assisting the Palestinian People amounting to $6.3 million to the UN's Food Program. He noted that the support extended by the Committee would enable the Program to extend assistance to members of the Palestinian community in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Morris described the support as "the biggest non-governmental cash donation" to be received by the Program in its history, and as the biggest gift to be extended by an Arab authority to the Program's activities in the occupied Palestinian territories. Morris hoped that the Committee would remain as a partner of the Program for providing relief to the Palestinian people, and urged other charitable committees to follow the example of the Saudi Committee in assisting poor people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and a number of other countries.--SPA1414 Local Time 1114 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/239119
