It is estimated that. for use in the next year. UNRWA will need 7.000 tons of sugar. If purchased on the world market at the world price of roughly 4 cents per pound. that sugar would cost approximately $560.000. Therefore. if that 7.000 tons of sugar were donated for the work with Palestinian refugees. UNRWAs deficit would be reduced by a. substantial amount. Under the terms of the humanitarian amendment we would have offered if the Rules Committee had agreed to a modified rule. a country would donate to the agency a portion of UNRWAs projected sugar needs proportionate to the U.S. sugar quota assigned to that country.
