The Joint Refugee Committee Organize Sit-In Near UNRWA to Protest Against scaling back Aid

The Joint Refugee Committee organized a sit-in near the headquarter of The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) to rally against the agency’s failure to comply with its commitments toward refugees, demanding donor countries to support the agency.

The agency’s decision to scale back its humanitarian and food aid along with its health services had a chilling effect on citizens.

People in Gaza are suffering from poor living conditions due to the Israeli blockade, closure of border crossings, a soaring unemployment rate that hit a new percentage of 50%.
