"As the only U.N. agency dedicated solely to one group of refugees, UNRWA operates beyond Gaza in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem."
"UNRWA was established in 1949 by a U.N. resolution calling for 'direct relief and works programs' for Palestinian refugees, following the Arab-Israeli War of 1948."
"The agency provides health care, schooling, emergency food assistance and other social services to registered refugees, with eligibility extended to those who lost homes as a result of the 1948 conflict."
"It is the largest aid organization in Gaza, and also among its largest employers, with 13,000 staff in the Gaza Strip, the majority of them Palestinians."
