We carry her name with pain, hope and an unyielding determination to seek justice—for her and for all the victims of the Gaza genocide.

Hind will never be forgotten.

Trump administration drops US endorsement of UNRWA

The Trump administration has reversed the Biden administration’s endorsement of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), saying that it supports Israel’s decision to close UNRWA’s office in occupied East Jerusalem.

UK pledges $21m for Gaza, underscores importance of UNRWA

South Korea expresses support for UNRWA as Israeli ban looms.

Seven countries tell UNSC they ‘deeply deplore’ Israel’s UNRWA ban. Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Slovenia and Spain have told the UN Security Council (UNSC) that they “deeply deplore” the Israeli parliament’s decision to “abolish” UNRWA’s operations in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

What is UNRWA and why is it important for Palestinians?

The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was created by the UN General Assembly on December 8, 1949.
The agency provides essential services to some six million Palestinian refugees who live within and outside Palestine.
As UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini has said, UNRWA services can only be taken over by a Palestinian state, since, unlike other aid agencies, UNRWA operates like a quasi-state, including by operating schools.
UNRWA runs 58 refugee camps for Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.
In 2023, about 540,148 children were enrolled in 711 UNRWA schools, including 298,363 children in Gaza.
As of 2023, UNRWA also operated 141 primary healthcare clinics and provided other services, including small business loans.

Israel’s UNRWA ban will ‘sabotage Gaza’s recovery and political transition’: Lazzarini

As the headquarters of the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) faces imminent forced closure by Israel in occupied East Jerusalem, the agency’s chief Philippe Lazzarini addressed the UN’s Security Council (UNSC) to make his case for the crucial continuation of UNRWA’s work and the council’s support to ensure that.

Here are key extracts from Lazzarini’s address to the UNSC:

Across the Gaza Strip, Palestinians are turning to UNRWA – the agency they have known all their lives – for support.
In Gaza, undermining UNRWA’s operations will compromise the international humanitarian response.
It will sabotage Gaza’s recovery and political transition.
Curtailing our operations now – outside a political process, and when trust in the international community is so low – will undermine the ceasefire.
UNRWA constitutes half the emergency response [in Gaza], with all other entities delivering the other half.
Since October 2023, we have delivered two-thirds of all food assistance, provided shelter to over a million displaced persons, and vaccinated a quarter of a million children against polio.
In occupied East Jerusalem, the government of Israel has ordered UNRWA to vacate its premises and cease operations by Thursday.
The political attacks on the agency are motivated by the desire to strip Palestinians of their refugee status.
The objective is to deny Palestine refugees the right to self-determination and erase their history and identity.
I am seeking your decisive intervention in support of peace and stability in the occupied Palestinian territory and the broader region.
