Overview

• Mayor Jaume Collboni announced the plan during a visit to an UNRWA-run refugee camp in Amman, targeting a launch before the end of the year.
• The district will start with an initial €1 million budget focused on diagnosis, reconstruction planning and project deployment.
• Barcelona will coordinate its work with UNRWA, and the city will double its annual contribution to the agency to €400,000.
• Municipal teams in urban planning, health, education and social services will provide on-the-ground support and training, including exchanges in Barcelona.
• The move revives the 1995 Sarajevo precedent, which was wound down about a decade ago, to formalize long-term aid until conditions allow reconstruction.
