An attack on UNRWA is an attack on the UN as a whole, and the member states that created it. It goes against international law and Israel’s obligations as a UN member state - there is no justification for it. It sets a dangerous precedent for UN operations worldwide. — UNRWA Roland Friedrich

In #Gaza, children continue to pay a high price. They have lost homes, schools, and a sense of normalcy. Through drawings and songs, they imagine homes rebuilt and classrooms reopening — holding on to hope. Every child has the right to live, learn, and dream of a better future.

In #Gaza, conditions remain dire & needs are overwhelming. After months of devastation, families face severe shortages — with @theipcinfo.bsky.social warning that 1.6 million people are in acute food insecurity. UNRWA remains on the ground, doing everything possible to support them. #UNRWAworks

#Gaza faces a tragedy beyond all limits. Nothing justifies the people in Gaza paying such a high and unjust price. Amid the devastation, Richard Gere supports UNRWA. Supporting UNRWA means protecting lives and defending humanity. Please help: bit.ly/3L8XqIu

Tens of thousands of displaced families in #Gaza — many sheltering in tents and overcrowded schools — face rain, flooding, and deteriorating living conditions. As winter deepens the hardship, UNRWA teams continue working to support people wherever they are. #UNRWAworks

“75 years later, in the absence of a political solution, UNRWA continues to provide essential services to millions of Palestine Refugees,” UNRWA Lazzarini at the #RefugeeForum. Despite attacks, staff losses and restrictions on operations, UNRWA continues providing critical services. #UNRWAworks

In #Gaza, the elderly and people with disabilities are exposed to disproportionate risk, due to forced displacement and the collapse of the healthcare system. Supplies like adult diapers are critically depleted, severely compromising hygiene and dignity. Aid must be allowed in at full scale.

Like millions of #Palestine Refugees across the region, Abeer's family rely on UNRWA for primary healthcare and education.  Robust financial support for UNRWA is necessary to maintain these critical services and help the Agency do more for families like Abeer's. #UNRWAworks

In East Jerusalem, Israeli authorities forcibly entered the UNRWA compound. “That's what international law is there for: to protect the weak and make sure that humanitarian organisations can continue their life-saving work,” our Roland Friedrich tells RT. International law must be respected.

In #Gaza, winter rains are falling, bringing new hardships. Flooded streets and soaked tents are making already dire living conditions even more dangerous. Cold, overcrowded, unsanitary environments heighten the risk of illness. This suffering could be prevented by unhindered humanitarian aid.

What is at stake are the values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international law. Human Rights must be upheld without exception.
