About

From UNRWA USA:
"UNRWA stands for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, and is a UN agency established by the General Assembly in 1949 with a mandate to provide humanitarian assistance and protection to registered Palestine refugees in the Agency's area of operations, namely the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, pending a just and lasting solution to their plight.
Thousands of Palestine refugees who lost both their homes and livelihood because of the Nakba (“catastrophe” in Arabic) have remained displaced and in need of significant support for over 70 years.
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 runs over 700 schools, educating over half a million girls and boys in the largest and one of the highest achieving school systems in the region.
  • UNRWA operates 143 primary health clinics, with 8.4 million annual patient visits.
  • UNRWA provides food assistance to more than 1 million food-insecure refugees.
  • UNRWA protects over 1 million refugees living in Syria and the occupied Palestinian territory.
  • UNRWA economically empowers men, women, and youth through vocational training, and has awarded more than 475,905 microfinance loans.
  • UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions from UN Member States, including the United States government."
