Texas, we’re heading back! 🏃🏽♀️➡️🏃🏽♂️➡️
They say everything is bigger in Texas—and Dallas, you proved it in 2024 when you showed up BIG for Palestine refugees at our inaugural Dallas Gaza 5K. The incredible turnout made one thing clear: this community runs strong for Gaza.
Gaza still needs us. And we need each other, too.
Our signature Gaza 5K walk/run brings mental health support and trauma relief to refugee children in Gaza through UNRWA counselors on the ground. This year in Dallas, we’re running, walking, and fundraising together with a goal of raising $500,000 for children’s mental health in Gaza.
From the Lone Star State to Palestine, no child should have to live under constant distress. By signing up and fundraising, you can help bring critical care and support to refugee children in Gaza.

UNRWA staff in Gaza like Dyana are the ones who keep this work going. They show up every single day for their people against all odds, through personal losses, and enduring ongoing displacement themselves.
See how your Zakat reaches Palestinian families in Gaza. UNRWA doesn’t guess what families need, 100% of the money you give is delivered directly to their hands so they can decide for themselves.
As Ramadan comes to a close, let’s turn our solidarity into action. Share this story, make a donation, and stand with UNRWA staff like Dyana who are working day in and day out for their people.
You have the power to directly support them and the families they serve, take that step with us today.

While many break their fast in safety this Ramadan, thousands in Gaza are still struggling for the most basic necessities.
🌙In these final days of Ramadan, our CEO Mara Kronenfeld shares a message of solidarity and gratitude for those who continue to stand with Palestine refugees.
Across Gaza, 12,000 UNRWA staff remain on the ground every day, working under unimaginable conditions to provide clean water, medical care, education, and trauma support to hundreds of thousands of Palestine refugees. Each day, they see 15,000 patients, educate tens of thousands of children, and continue delivering lifesaving assistance to families who need it most.
This work is only possible because of the compassion and solidarity of supporters like you.
During Ramadan, 100% of Zakat contributions will go directly to those in need in Gaza, helping ensure families can access critical aid.
Your support is truly a matter of life or death. Ramadan Mubarak to all who are observing.

Dublin’s Famine Memorial honors Ireland’s Great Hunger, a time when food was readily available, yet millions starved because access was denied simply for who they were.
🍀On St. Patrick’s Day, it’s a reminder: famine is never just about scarcity.
It’s about power.
It’s man-made.
And today, it’s happening again.
In Gaza, food is available just outside its borders. But the Israeli military is blocking UNRWA — Gaza’s humanitarian backbone — from bringing it in.
UNRWA is still in Gaza. Its 12,000 staff never left.
Every day they’re:
🩵 Running Gaza’s primary healthcare clinics
🩵 Providing water and sanitation
🩵 Counseling children
🩵 Helping kids get back to learning
UNRWA has the infrastructure and the trust to deliver aid at scale.
This isn’t a failure of capacity.
It’s a denial of access and of humanity.
On this St. Patrick’s Day, let us not forget the history of the people of Ireland and their deep sympathy for the Palestinian people whose history they see deep parallels in.
Call your representatives. Demand pressure to lift the blockade and allow UNRWA to do its work.

🍀🌺 May clovers and poppies continue to stand together in the fields of understanding and remembering their histories, sharing their stories, and working toward a better tomorrow.

Not a filter. Not a movie. Not AI. This is Gaza…unfiltered.
A sandstorm swept across the Gaza Strip on Saturday (March 14, 2026), filling the air with dust and reducing visibility.
For families living in overcrowded shelters, tents and ruined buildings, harsh weather adds yet another challenge. Dust gets everywhere, worsening daily life for children and families already facing severe hardship.
Despite these conditions, UNRWA works every day to support communities with essential services, including healthcare, learning and clean water.

What would you do in this situation?
It’s Ramadan, the holiest month of the year. You’re fasting and everyone you love is too for the third year in a row under Israel’s constant bombardment of Gaza. You don’t know where your next meal will come from or if you’ll even be able to break your fast. Despite it, you try to keep the Ramadan spirit alive, knowing that no one should ever have to live through this.
This is the reality for Palestinians in Gaza right now.
Yesterday, Israel bombed families who were seeking refuge in tents because their homes were destroyed by bombs.
And still, when the sun sets, families insist on life. They gather to honor the holiness of this sacred month and break their fast however they can.
Right now, we are working around the clock to get cash directly into the hands of refugee families in Gaza.
When the borders are closed and aid can’t get in, cash is the only thing left that still has life-saving power. Your solidarity isn’t just a gesture—it’s a deliberate act that is the difference between dignity and hopelessness for families who have endured violence and displacement for far too long.
This Ramadan, don’t forget Gaza. Send your solidarity directly to families who are holding on through it all.

UNRWA continues to support affected communities across Lebanon.
Escalating violence is once again forcing thousands of people to flee their homes. As Lebanon hosts hundreds of thousands of Palestine refugees, UNRWA is now providing emergency shelter to all displaced communities affected by the crisis — Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians alike.

🩵Home is more than a place, it’s where roots, memory, and community live.
In ‘All That’s Left of You’ (@allthatsleftofyoufilm), directed by UNRWA USA Board Member Cherien Dabis (@cheriendabis), the story of one Palestinian family reminds us that home is also found in each other, in shared histories, and in the collective right to return.
As Stephanie Nadi Olson (@nadiolson), Executive Producer of All That’s Left of You, says: “For Palestinians, the longing for home spans generations. That connection is carried through family, community, stories, art, and the steadfast support of organizations like @UNRWA, which protect and uplift past, present, and future generations of Palestine Refugee families across Gaza, the West Bank (including East Jerusalem), Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan.”
This film is a testament to resilience, remembrance, and the ways we find home even when it’s threatened.
