WHO ARE THEY?

UNRWA was established by the United Nations in 1949 to provide humanitarian assistance and support to Palestinian refugees who were displaced during the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict and their descendants. Its mandate includes providing education, healthcare, social services, and emergency aid to Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. It is separate from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which assists other refugees worldwide.

WHAT ARE THEIR GOALS?

 Humanitarian Assistance: Providing essential services such as education, healthcare, relief, and social services to Palestinian refugees.

 Support and Advocacy: Advocating for the rights and needs of Palestinian refugees on the international stage.

 Emergency Response: Providing emergency aid and responding to crises affecting Palestinian refugees.

 Development Initiatives: Supporting community development and livelihood programs to improve the living conditions of Palestinian refugees.

Together, we can support valuable lives that injustices have impacted for far too long. Learn more by visiting https://www.unrwa.org/.
