After 470 + days,  the people of Gaza hear the sound of playing children instead of bombardments and airstrikes.

Our UNRWA teams reported a first good day of the ceasefire; aid and some commercial supplies started flowing in smoothly.

Three hostages were at long last safely released, while Palestinian prisoners have now reunited with their families. Thank you, ICRC. 

The ceasefire must continue to hold and all elements of the agreement must be implemented.

It is a step in the right direction towards long-lasting peace and stability for all.

AMMAN- UNRWA welcomes a much-anticipated disbursement of EUR 16 million from the European Commission. This payment is the remaining tranche of the EU’s contribution to the Agency for 2024, bringing to EUR 82 million the EU's total assistance to UNRWA’s core budget for this year.  

The Members of the Security Council emphasized the vital role of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in providing life-saving humanitarian assistance to Palestinian refugees through essential education, health, relief and social services programmes and emergency assistance in the occupied Palestinian territory, Jordan, Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic.

A joint United Nations convoy delivered urgently needed food to communities in southern and central Gaza today. A total of 105 trucks successfully completed their journeys along the Philadelphi corridor and adjacent routes - which has provided food for nearly 200,000 people.

PRCS Statement on the CeaseFire Deal

Last Saturday Israeli occupation forces used an aid truck to infiltrate the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, which then lead to the death of hundreds of people. The massacre resulted in the killing of 274 people, including 64 children and 57 women, in addition to injuring 700 others.
