History

Historical Context

The establishment of Israel in 1948 displaced around 700,000 Palestinians during the Arab-Israeli War, leading to the creation of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to support refugees. As of 2023, over 5 million Palestinians rely on UNRWA, while the ongoing Gaza conflict has intensified humanitarian crises, with 100,000 fleeing due to Israeli airstrikes, prompting global protests.
