UNRWA

The Government of Israel is running a global disinformation campaign targeting UNRWA, the largest humanitarian provider for people in war-torn #Gaza. The act of Israel, a UN member state, to label UNRWA, a UN agency, as a terror organisation may amount to hate speech. Using both Google ads and billboards around the world, the campaign is creating immense reputational damage to UNRWA. Those responsible for the spread of disinformation must stop and be held accountable. Regulations must be put in place to control the spread of such damaging and possibly dangerous messages.

The war in #Gaza has a devastating impact on the future of education. 88% of school buildings have been directly hit or damaged — about one-third of these are UNRWA schools. To be functional again, most of the schools affected need full reconstruction or major rehabilitation. A #CeasefireNow is critical to protect children and their future.

The Nur Shams Rehabilitation Centre in the #WestBank was established in 1995 in partnership with UNRWA. It provides essential therapy and support to children with disabilities. Its work is critical in ensuring that children with disabilities receive the care and opportunities they deserve. #UNRWAworks
