History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War resulted in the displacement of around 700,000 Palestinians, creating a persistent refugee crisis. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) was established to support these refugees and now aids over 5 million. The recent displacement of over 36,000 people in Gaza underscores the ongoing humanitarian challenges and the urgent need for a sustainable resolution to the conflict.
