“Dismantling UNRWA would be catastrophic for Palestinians especially in Gaza and the West Bank as they are deprived of essentials such as food, water, medical aid, education and protection.

GAPS joins Action Aid and other international organisations to call on world leaders for the urgent protection of UNRWA against attacks from the Israeli Government. Read the urgent global appeal here.
