The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has provided support to Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and in the Occupied Palestine territories. Today, however, conflict and violence, occupation, high levels of poverty, and other social determinants of health jeopardize the wellbeing of Palestine refugees. Additionally, UNRWA is continuing to face a severe funding crisis. Dr. Seita, the director of health department, will be discussing how UNRWA, since 1950, has developed a unique health-care system to serve Palestine refugees, providing access to the most needed and essential health-care services and continues to demonstrate resilience. He will demonstrate how UNRWA has demands the international community and civil societies break through the silence and support UNRWA in upholding the fundamental human rights and dignity of Palestine refugees.
