We Are Not Numbers reports that Palestinian refugees have relied on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for survival since their displacement in 1948. Without UNRWA's assistance, one refugee account states, their family could not have endured the decades following their flight from their homes.
The agency has provided education, healthcare, and social services to millions of Palestinian refugees across the Middle East, becoming a central institution in their communities. For families displaced over seven decades ago, UNRWA support has been essential to their continued existence and ability to meet basic needs.
