On #HumanRightsDay we reiterate that human rights cannot be applied selectively.
#OurEverydayRights are also the rights of Palestine Refugees. What is at stake are the values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international law.
Human Rights must be upheld without exception.
“To support the UNRWA is to invest in a political path forward, and to stand in true solidarity with all those committed to a lasting peace.”
— UNRWA Commissioner-General
Full remarks: unrwa.org/newsroom/off...
UNRWA continues to make a tangible difference in the lives and future of millions of #Palestine Refugee children in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan.
Children are children, wherever they are. Rights must be respected, always.
#WorldChildrensDay
It should be our collective priority to bring all #Gaza’s children back to a learning environment after two years of war, trauma, and suffering.
The education system that existed in Gaza, largely run by UNRWA, must be fully re-established.
UNRWA has around 12,000 colleagues on the ground in #Gaza.
They continue to provide basic services every day to thousands of people:
✅ Learning for children
✅ Water provision
✅ Health services
✅ Shelter
✅ Psychosocial support
✅ Solid waste collection

“Wrote in @theguardian.com that UNRWA has the capacity and expertise to support the long journey of people in postwar Gaza.”

After two years of war, children in #Gaza are returning to school, many still learning in shelters. UNRWA is helping restore education and hope for over 300,000 students.
Every day, Mohammed used to come home from school with a new poem.
Now, he comes home with bread — and worry.
Despite everything, he still believes in the right to dream, to learn.
UNRWA is keeping education going in #Gaza through distance learning and temporary schools in shelters.

“I don’t know where my leg went.” (Malak, age 6).
In #Gaza, countless children have been injured, many losing limbs or living with lifelong disabilities.
#UNRWAworks to provide health services and care to help children rebuild their lives.
Only UNRWA can deliver lifesaving aid at the scale #Gaza needs. We have the network, the experience, and the trust of the community.
The State of Israel must let UNRWA bring in the huge amount of aid that has been blocked in our warehouses in Jordan and Egypt since 2nd March.
Let UNRWA do its work.
“I am the youngest Student Parliament President in UNRWA schools in Jordan. On the first day of school, I was very excited and happy,” says Shahd, an UNRWA student in Grade 8.
161 UNRWA schools across Jordan provide education to over 100,000 #Palestine Refugee girls and boys.

For 2 years too long, UNRWA has been calling for a ceasefire in #Gaza.
The scale of suffering and destruction is unimaginable.
1.9 million people are forcibly displaced.
Tens of thousands have been killed and wounded.
On this #PeaceDay – like every day – we call again for a #CeasefireNow
Shift the focus in #Gaza to:
➡️ immediate ceasefire
➡️ humanitarian aid
➡️ political will
➡️ humanity
Allow UNRWA to bring in our aid and distribute it safely, and at scale.
#CeasefireNow
"No place is safe in #Gaza
No one is safe.
Airstrikes in Gaza City and the north are intensifying.
More and more people are forced to leave, disoriented and uncertain, heading into the unknown."
Full statement by UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini: www.unrwa.org/newsroom/off...
In #Gaza, since the beginning of the war, an average of a classroom of children is killed every day.

An average of 28 children have been killed each day since the start of the war in #Gaza – the equivalent of an entire classroom, every day for 21 months. Quoting UNICEF.
The people in #Gaza desperately need humanitarian aid, blocked by Israeli Authorities for over 4 months.
Allow UNRWA to deliver lifesaving supplies.
Aid deliveries and distribution must be at scale and safe.
In Gaza, this can be done through the United Nations including UNRWA.
#UNRWAworks
“UNRWA has thousands of trucks of supplies waiting to get into #Gaza. We have enough food for the entire population for a month - that’s 180 million meals,” UNRWA Sam Rose says.
And it’s not just food - critical medicines, shelter items and basic hygiene supplies.
Let us do our work.
Children make up half of the population in #Gaza.
Their lives are marked by war and destruction.
Out of classrooms.
Forced to flee.
Barely eating.
Gaza has 1 million children.
#CeasefireNow for Gaza’s children and a better future in the region
