Let's Talk UNRWA Ep. 32: Gaza Field Update
Channel: UNRWA USA
Date: 2023-06-22

On June 9th, UNRWA informed the UN General Assembly that it lacks funds to sustain schools, health centers, and other services from September. Thomas White, UNRWA's Director of Affairs in Gaza, is briefing US officials on the urgent need for the allocated $75 million from the FY2023 foreign aid bill for food assistance to the West Bank and Gaza. These funds are crucial to maintaining the food supply for over one million refugees in Gaza, and without them, the UNRWA food pipeline could break by mid-September. 

Join us for a quick chat with Thomas as he gives us an update on his visit and on the situation in Gaza. Hosted by our Communications Director, Laila Mokhiber - this #LetsTalkUNRWA episode will be broadcasted live on Wednesday June 21 at 5:30 pm EST via UNRWA USA's Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn channels.
