United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is a UN agency established in 1949 to provide assistance to Palestinian refugees who were displaced during the Arab-Israeli conflict. It offers essential services such as education, healthcare, social services, and emergency aid across the Middle East, particularly in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. UNRWA's mission is to support these communities, promoting their well-being and better living conditions while advocating for their rights. The agency operates under the mandate of the United Nations and relies on voluntary donations from member states and other organizations for funding.
