UNRWA is more than an agency.

We are teachers helping children learn, nurses providing healthcare, social workers supporting families and frontline staff meeting needs on the ground every day.

Behind the disinformation are real people, real needs and real rights.

Grave concern over the situation in #Hebron.

For nearly a week, residents of Hebron, the largest city in the occupied #WestBank, have been living under crippling security conditions imposed by Israeli forces following a shooting attack on Israeli soldiers on 23 October.

More than 3,000 Palestinians have reportedly been forcibly displaced from their homes as part of a large-scale Israeli security forces operation that has also seen extensive demolitions of houses and private property.

A near-total lockdown across large parts of Hebron has severely restricted residents’ freedom of movement and their ability to access critical services.

These developments bring alarming echoes of the massive displacement witnessed in the northern occupied West Bank in early 2025, where more than 34,000 #Palestine Refugees from Jenin, Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps remain forcibly displaced over a year later.

Any form of collective punishment is contrary to international law.

All those forcibly displaced must be allowed to return, with their dignity and rights under international law respected.

Access to essential services must be protected.

These latest developments also unfold against the backdrop of the Israeli Knesset election, as tensions across the occupied West Bank remain high.

@UNRWA, working closely with other humanitarian partners and the Palestinian Authority, has mobilized with the Hebron Governorate and Municipality to respond to urgent needs on the ground, distributing emergency assistance, including blankets, mattresses and pillows, to affected families.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

UNRWA is proud to be part of the @UN family.

We share its mission: to advance sustainable development, uphold human rights, and save future generations from the scourge of war, leaving no one behind, wherever they are.

For #Palestine Refugees, we put these principles into practice every day, providing humanitarian assistance and essential services that help them live with dignity.

This #UNDay, we reaffirm our commitment to refugee communities until a just and lasting solution to their plight is found.

A tragedy not representative of the values of Jordan which stands out as a beacon of unity, cooperation, and tolerance in an increasingly polarized world. @UNRWA stands with the Royal family, the government & the people of #Jordan at this difficult time.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

UNRWA condemns the terrible terrorist attack on the church in Hmoud. We mourn those killed and wish the injured a swift recovery. We stand with our host nation Jordan.

Places of worship must be sanctuaries of peace and safety. Attacks on civilians and religious sites are indefensible.

The international community must do everything to support peace, tolerance, and respect for the rights and faiths of all.

Across #Gaza and the occupied #WestBank, including East Jerusalem, UNRWA teams continue supporting #Palestine Refugees.

In Gaza, more than 100,000 children accessed in-person learning during the first weeks of the school year, an important step towards expanding access to education across the Strip.

In the occupied West Bank, our 4,500 UNRWA personnel continue providing education, health and other essential services, including support to thousands of Palestine Refugees displaced from camps in the northern West Bank.

Many thanks @dubravkasuica for the good discussion.
@UNRWA has immense humanitarian and strategic value in the region, with expertise difficult to replicate. We will reform to meet today's challenges & ensure assistance reaches those who need it most.

EU support is essential.

Good exchange with @CFSaundersUN today on @UNRWA’s vital role in supporting Palestinian refugees.

Its education, healthcare and humanitarian services are essential for millions and for regional stability.

The EU remains committed to supporting the Agency and I welcome its ongoing reforms.

“We have 10,500 staff on the ground in Gaza doing everything from healthcare to sanitation, to education” UNRWA Commissioner-General a.i. Christian Saunders tells @BBCWorld.

Despite enormous constraints, UNRWA continues working in #Gaza, the occupied #WestBank, and across the region. 

UNRWA’s humanitarian assistance and essential services are a lifeline for #Palestine Refugees.

#UNRWAworks  #FundUNRWA

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

Humanitarian assistance is most effective when delivered by people who know the communities they serve.

With decades of experience and deep community trust, UNRWA personnel help to ensure that vital support reaches people across the #Gaza Strip and the region.

“At my age, I need regular care and medicines to keep going. Displacement has made everything harder but knowing I can still come here and receive medical care gives me reassurance,” says 80-year-old Jameela.

Through its health centres in #Gaza, UNRWA continues to provide essential healthcare and support to people in need.

For patients like Jameela, access to care means treatment, reassurance and dignity in difficult times.

#UNRWAworks #FundUNRWA

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

UNRWA remains the largest humanitarian provider in #Gaza, supporting more than 1.7 million people with education, healthcare, water, sanitation and other essential services.

UNRWA Commissioner-General a. i. Christian Saunders says:
“The window of opportunity is narrowing. But it has not yet closed.
There is still an opportunity - and an obligation - to act.
To uphold international law.
To protect the rights and dignity of the Palestinian people.
To sustain the institutions that serve them.
And to preserve the possibility of a just and lasting peace.
This is not a call for charity.
It is a call for responsibility.”

Through art, Lareen and Layan are finding ways to express their thoughts, hopes and emotions.

They were among 1,000 children in #Gaza who took part in UNRWA-supported art activities that provided a safe and encouraging space for creativity and self-expression.

With support from the European Union, these activities help children explore their talents and share their stories.

Every day, #Palestine Refugee children learn in UNRWA schools, families receive healthcare, and communities access essential services and humanitarian assistance.
