The schools of Palestinian children will remain open and clinic will not shut down due to this additional financial aid, she added.

She further said Pakistan will continue to stand by with its Palestinian brothers and sisters.

The agency providing aid to Palestinians refugees, while lauding the generous move by Pakistan, appreciated Pakistan for continued support of Palestinians on every forum.
