UNRWA is more than an agency. We are teachers helping children learn, nurses providing healthcare, social workers supporting families and frontline staff meeting needs on the ground every day. Behind the disinformation are real people, real needs and real rights. #UNRWAworks

At the UN General Assembly Ministerial Meeting on UNRWA, Commissioner-General a.i. @CFSaundersUN called on Member States to to advocate for UNRWA to be given the space to operate in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Continued financial support is also essential to sustain services for #Palestine Refugees. Full remarks: unrwa.org/newsroom/official-…

UNRWA once ran 288 schools for 300,000 Palestinian children in Gaza, many now shelter displaced families. Just six of 22 health centres remain open, and the agency says it can no longer bring in aid independently. Al Jazeera’s @TareqAzzom reports.

The rights of #Palestine Refugees must be upheld. Addressing Member States at the UN General Assembly, UNRWA Commissioner-General a.i. @CFSaundersUN stressed the importance of a response grounded in international law and the UN Charter to the situation in the occupied #WestBank, including East Jerusalem.

In the volatile context of the Middle East, @UNRWA remains a critical, stabilizing presence. But its capacity to act is seriously imperilled. Member States must take immediate action. I‘m counting on their unwavering political & financial support to protect UNRWA’s mandate and Palestine refugees to safeguard their rights.

As a new school year begins in #Gaza, UNRWA continues to support child development – building their skills, exploring their potential, and imagining what their future could hold. Learning is more than lessons. It gives children space to think independently, discover their potential and keep believing in what they can achieve. From one school year to the next, UNRWA remains alongside children and teachers, keeping learning going and possibilities open. #UNRWAworks

“Just completed a week of meetings here in Washington, D.C. with executive branch officials, lawmakers, diplomats, think tanks and NGOs. I briefed on the work of the Agency and in particular on the lifesaving work we are doing in Gaza and the West Bank and how UNRWA is well placed to support the recovery and reconstruction in Gaza. There was widespread support for the reforms and the direction in which I am taking the Agency." - UNRWA Commissioner-General a.i. Christian Saunders

Every day, UNRWA staff deliver education, health care, sanitation and other essential services to Palestine Refugees across #Gaza and the occupied #WestBank.

As the summer activities conclude, a new UNRWA school year begins, helping children continue learning and providing a sense of routine, stability and hope. #UNRWAworks
