History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War led to the establishment of Israel and the displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians, many of whom became refugees in Gaza. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) was created to assist these refugees, now numbering 5.7 million. The ongoing blockade of Gaza has intensified humanitarian crises, highlighting the urgent need for international intervention to ensure aid delivery and prevent further casualties.
