How many more Palestinian lives will be wiped off from their homeland by bombardments, hunger or lack of medical care?
More than 250 Palestinians in Gaza have been reported killed in the last two days alone.
These are lives.
These are human beings.
They cannot just be reduced to numbers.
Atrocities are becoming a new norm, under our watch, making the unbearable bearable with indifference.
Like Omar El Akkad says: "One day…., everyone will have always been against this".
UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The United Nations General Assembly established UNRWA in 1949 with a mandate to provide humanitarian assistance and protection to registered Palestine refugees in the Agency's area of operations pending a just and lasting solution to their plight.
UNRWA operates in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, The Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
Tens of thousands of Palestine refugees who lost their homes and livelihoods due to the 1948 conflict continue to be displaced and in need of support, nearly 75 years on.
UNRWA helps Palestine Refugees achieve their full potential in human development through quality services it provides in education, health care, relief and social services, protection, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance, and emergency assistance. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions.
