The Royal Thai Government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand will provide 100,000 USD of financial contribution each to the Government of Jordan and the Government of Lebanon  − a total of 200,000 USD (or approximately 7.26 million baht) −  to assist both Governments’ support for Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon, whose number totaled more than 3 million.

Having monitored closely the humanitarian situation in Syria, Thailand has recognized the burden born by Lebanon and Jordan in providing shelters, humanitarian assistance, and healthcare for Syria refugees since the onset of the crises in 2011. Increasing numbers of refugees are in dire need of food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters.

In addition to this financial assistance, the Royal Thai Government has provided humanitarian assistance to the conflict-affected areas in the Middle East and Arab region.  In 2014, Thailand donated 200,000 USD (7.26 million baht) to Palestine through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in response to the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.  More recently, Thailand contributed 100,000 USD (3.63 million baht) fund to Yemen to assist people affected by the ongoing conflict in Yemen through the Yemen Red Crescent Society (YRCS).

Providing humanitarian assistance to victims of conflict and disasters all over the world has been a long-standing policy of the Royal Thai Government.
