UNRWA USA urgently needs your help to ensure that Congress acts before adjourning for 2023 on the Biden Administration’s request for $9 billion in emergency humanitarian funding. UNRWA is now sheltering over a million displaced civilians at its facilities throughout Gaza’s five governates. As you well know, the food, water, medicine, and fuel so desperately needed to maintain the Agency’s humanitarian relief operation are all in short supply.
While Congress has begun consideration of President Biden’s supplemental funding request, it is far from assured that it will take final action before the holidays. You know that in Washington the longer the issue drags on, the less likely we are to receive a positive outcome.
Your advocacy is needed now more than ever to ensure that life-saving assistance will reach Palestinians in Gaza, particularly at this moment when no one can be sure what will happen in the days ahead.
Contact your elected officials to let them know you demand action – now - on the humanitarian funding included in the emergency supplemental appropriations request.
