Living conditions in #Gaza are dire. The UN needs all possible resources and capacity to be able to respond to the immense needs.
#UNRWAworks relentlessly in Gaza, and the Agency’s aid supplies must be allowed in.
Raise awareness on Gaza and support the call to lift restrictions on aid.

Education is a basic human right.
#UNRWAworks so that children can learn and grow.
