History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War led to the displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians, marking a significant humanitarian crisis. In response, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) was established to assist these displaced individuals. Today, ongoing military actions in Gaza City reflect this historical displacement, intensifying the humanitarian situation and prompting international responses from organizations like the International Committee of the Red Cross.
