I am starting a splinter group because I found the rules of "Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion" to be somewhat restrictive.

AMMAN — Seventyfive years into the Palestinian “Nakbah”, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has taken the responsibility to provide humanitarian aid to Palestine Refugees across the region.

Director Marketing Communications Widian Othman said that “UNRWA acts as a miniature government within the refugee camps”, emphasising the agency’s indispensable role.

“Without UNRWA, the essential lifelines for refugees would vanish as the agency oversees everything from street cleaning to health and education, effectively mirroring the comprehensive services provided by the government to ensure the well-being of those residing in the camps,” she said.
