Japan said Tuesday it will extend USD 1 million in emergency grant aid to the Jenin refugee camp in Palestine, which suffered severe damages from the Israeli military operation.

"Through this grant aid, Japan will implement humanitarian assistance in areas such as sanitation, health and response to unexploded ordnance through the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)," the Foreign Ministry said in a press release.

"Japan will continue its efforts towards confidence-building between the parties concerned to achieve a two-state solution regarding the Middle East Peace Process, while urging all parties to exercise the utmost restraint and refrain from violence and provocative behavior," the ministry added.
