NEW YORK: UN-Habitat has named Crown Prince Naif, deputy premier and minister of interior, as the winner of its newly instituted Outstanding Donor Award for his crucial support to the Special Human Settlements Program for the Palestinian People.
Since 2003, the Saudi committee has been the most important donor for various Palestinian projects.
The announcement was made by UN-Habitat Executive Director Joan Clos at the meeting of the first Advisory Board of the Special Human Settlements Program for the Palestinian People with representatives from more than 20 countries at the UN headquarters in New York on Thursday.

Has anyone done more to undermine the Palestinian cause than the House of Saud?
Distinguished Exellencies,
Dear Gentlemen,
On a behalf of my family and my own I would like to express my gratitude to people from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, specialy during the war in Bosnia 1992-1995, and afterward. As an employee of the Swiss airlines in Sarajevo I had a nice experience dealing with people egaged in Saudian Comitee for humanitarian aid for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Specialy I would like to mention names of Mr Jiffry Hussain Ebu Omar ,engineer from a Team of Mosques reconstruction and building of Mosques in Sarajevo King’s Fahd and the Princess Jewahheer. Also Mr Kalabi, Mr Saati, and many other who used to contacted our airline for their flights home to Saudia aand back to Bosnia. I never met people with such a nice attitude and behavior, never disturbing me or my collegues, always nice, polite and I will remember them and their families forever.If I could I would expres my gratitude to Your King His Highness as I am sure he knows much about a terrible war that happened in Bosnia. Even nowdays we have difficult situation, many unemployed people and investitors are not interested to be a part of a country with specific point of view as new generations came to lead the country, those who have no emotions and do not remember what realy happened and what was the rule of Your Holly Kingdom and Your nice and devoted people. At the end I remain hoping my dear friends and their families are alive and safe as once they become a target of hunting due to a wrong policy in Bosnia 2000. and onward when most of Muslim directed parties and individuals were stopped in their lives, work, ideas for better future. God bless Your Kingdom, Your King His Highness and Your nice people , and I enjoy watching Your State television reminding myself to a previous better, nicer and happier times that left behind us, unfortunatelly.
Yours faithfully, esselamu aleikum we rahmetullahi we berekatuhu,
