With all the ongoing restrictions on humanitarian organizations in Gaza, many people are asking: Is UNRWA still in Gaza?

The answer is yes—they never left. UNRWA’s 11,000 to 12,000 Palestinian staff in Gaza remain on the ground, providing lifesaving services including healthcare, education, water and sanitation, and shelter.

Every Palestinian life is precious.
Take this with you into the new year. Say it, write it, share it like your humanity depends on it—because it does.

We mourn every Palestine refugee who did not live to see 2026.
We honor their lives by carrying this work forward.

While the calendar may change. UNRWA USA’s mission for Palestine refugees remains.

We enter the new year bearing witness to the ongoing violence and displacement Palestine refugees continue to face. And we see the strength of communities in Gaza who have endured over two years of what experts know to be a genocide.

We remain steadfast in our solidarity, working to safeguard the dignity, rights, and livelihoods of Palestine refugees where they are forced to live in exile—from Gaza to the West Bank, from Jordan to Lebanon to Syria.

May the new year bring a true ceasefire in Gaza—and may the world finally uphold its responsibility to Palestine refugees.

So this is Christmas, and what have you done? This is not a judgment, but as an invitation to reflect on how we care for one another as one human family.

This Christmas, while much of the world celebrates, UNRWA staff, refugees themselves, are still in Gaza and providing life-saving relief to displaced refugee families. Your support makes that possible. Please give tonight: www.unrwausa.org/donate

The Christmas story is a refugee story.
Jesus was a Palestinian Jew who was born under occupation and forced to flee with his family.
Peace on earth must include Palestine refugees.
Until we see a just solution for the plight/displacement of Palestine refugees, we will continue our work alongside our remarkable community of donors, advocates, and supporters across the United States. 
This holiday season, make solidarity more than a sentiment.

While the world watches what’s happening in Gaza, too many people have no idea what is happening in the West Bank which is under military occupation.
You can help change that.

On December 8th, Israeli forces violently raided the UNRWA headquarters in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, occupied East Jerusalem. They tore down the UN flag and raised the Israeli one. In blatant violation of international law, they confiscated our UNRWA colleagues’ furniture, IT equipment, and property, using trucks and forklifts.

Through it all, UNRWA is still in the West Bank, protecting the dignity and rights of Palestine refugees.

Want to understand what that really means?
Swipe through, then take a few minutes to read our latest #VoicesofUNRWA blog article, co-authored by our very own Jude Thayer and Laila Mokhiber, to understand the impact your donations are having on Palestine refugees in the West Bank.
