UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is a UN agency established in 1949 to support Palestinian refugees who were displaced during the Arab-Israeli conflict. UNRWA provides essential services such as education, healthcare, social services, and emergency assistance to millions of Palestinian refugees in the Middle East, including Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Its mission is to improve the living conditions and livelihoods of these refugees while advocating for their rights and facilitating their humanitarian needs amidst ongoing regional challenges. UNRWA plays a crucial role in addressing both immediate needs and longer-term development for Palestinian communities.
