China, in cooperation with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), provided insulin syringes to Palestinian refugees during an event on Wednesday at Jordan's Baqa'a Refugee Camp.

The project will benefit more than 43,000 Palestinian refugees across the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria who require insulin. In Jordan alone, more than 11 million syringes will be distributed, enough to meet the needs of local refugees with diabetes for at least a year.

About 30,000 Palestinian refugees in Jordan have diabetes, and roughly 14,000 require daily insulin injections.
