(Nov. 10, 2023 / JNS)

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is the international body’s agency to aid refugees.

However a unique and special agency, called the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), was created to provide direct assistance specifically and only for Palestinian Arab refugees and their descendants.

UNRWA is the only U.N. agency that is dedicated to helping refugees from a specific region or conflict. Its schools have become a shameless tool of Hamas and anti-Jewish hatred.
