Every day, Mohammed used to come home from school with a new poem.

Now, he comes home with bread โ€” and worry.

Despite everything, he still believes in the right to dream, to learn.

UNRWA is keeping education going in #Gaza through distance learning and temporary schools in shelters.

โ€œI donโ€™t know where my leg went.โ€ (Malak, age 6).

In #Gaza, countless children have been injured, many losing limbs or living with lifelong disabilities.

#UNRWAworks to provide health services and care to help children rebuild their lives.

Only UNRWA can deliver lifesaving aid at the scale #Gaza needs. We have the network, the experience, and the trust of the community.

The State of Israel must let UNRWA bring in the huge amount of aid that has been blocked in our warehouses in Jordan and Egypt since 2nd March.
Let UNRWA do its work.

To end the starvation in Gaza, bring back UNRWA Western states have condemned the famine. They can end it by refunding and protecting UNRWA.

For 2 years too long, UNRWA has been calling for a ceasefire in #Gaza.

The scale of suffering and destruction is unimaginable.

1.9 million people are forcibly displaced.

Tens of thousands have been killed and wounded.

On this #PeaceDay โ€“ like every day โ€“ we call again for a #CeasefireNow

Shift the focus in #Gaza to:

โžก๏ธ immediate ceasefire

โžก๏ธ humanitarian aid

โžก๏ธ political will

โžก๏ธ humanity

Allow UNRWA to bring in our aid and distribute it safely, and at scale.

"No place is safe in #Gaza
No one is safe.

Airstrikes in Gaza City and the north are intensifying.
More and more people are forced to leave, disoriented and uncertain, heading into the unknown."

The people in #Gaza desperately need humanitarian aid, blocked by Israeli Authorities for over 4 months.

Allow UNRWA to deliver lifesaving supplies.

Aid deliveries and distribution must be at scale and safe.

In Gaza, this can be done through the United Nations including UNRWA.

โ€œUNRWA has thousands of trucks of supplies waiting to get into #Gaza. We have enough food for the entire population for a month - thatโ€™s 180 million meals,โ€ UNRWA Sam Rose says.

And itโ€™s not just food - critical medicines, shelter items and basic hygiene supplies.

Let us do our work.

Children make up half of the population in #Gaza.
Their lives are marked by war and destruction.

Out of classrooms.
Forced to flee.
Barely eating.
Gaza has 1 million children.

UNRWA stays and delivers, a lifeline for the population. It operates several aid programmes incl. solid waste, sanitation, providing drinking water, psychosocial support to traumatized children and some form of learning. UNRWA also remains the largest provider of primary health in Gaza.

As hard as that is to believe, the situation keeps deteriorating. It is worse than hell for 2 M people whose houses were bombed, who were forcefully displaced countless times, thirsty and hungry, desperate, many awaiting for their death.

In #Gaza, children wake up during surgery, reports @โ€Œsavechildrenintl.bsky.socialโ€ฌ.

This is due to the lack of anaesthetic caused by the siege imposed by the Government of Israel.

This suffering must stop.

Humanitarian aid delivery, including of medical supplies, must be atย scaleย andย safe.

"UNRWA staff are operating under extraordinarily hostile conditions," the UNRWA Philippe Lazzarini tells @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social.

Displaced and under threat themselves, UNRWA teams in #Gaza continue to provide essential servicesโ€”supporting communities in the midst of crisis.
