2 only

1 and 3 only

1, 2 and 3

2 only
The first statement is incorrect. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) was not established for Tutsi refugees of Rwanda. UNRWA was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1949 to provide assistance and protection to Palestinian refugees who were displaced during the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict.
The second statement is correct. UNRWA is indeed unique in terms of its long-standing commitment to one group of refugees, which are the Palestinian refugees.
The third statement is incorrect. India has not recently pledged funding for UNRWA. UNRWA primarily receives funding from various member states and international organizations to support its humanitarian work for Palestinian refugees.
Therefore, only statement 2 is correct.
