UNRWA Emergency Briefing: Will UNRWA be banned? Get the inside story

The Israeli government’s proposed ban on UNRWA—the irreplaceable lifeline for millions of Palestine refugees—is set to take effect before the end of January 2025.

This ban threatens to end over 75 years of critical services, including education, healthcare, food, shelter, and life-saving assistance in the Gaza Strip and West Bank (including East Jerusalem). If enforced, it would cut off essential aid and leave 650,000 students without access to education, jeopardizing an entire generation's future.

As both an UNRWA USA staffer and an American who cares deeply about this issue, I cannot stand by and watch this happen—I need your help.

​​​​​​I'm reaching out to rally our most valued supporters for an emergency briefing on Monday, Jan 13 at 12:00 pm EST

During this private call, you'll have the opportunity to:

  • Hear directly from Executive Director Mara Kronenfeld and other senior leadership about the potential impact of the ban and other threats UNRWA and UNRWA USA are facing.

  • Take immediate action to protect and provide vital humanitarian aid for Palestine refugees.

  • Connect with community leaders in your area to multiply your impact and be part of a collective local effort.

This is a defining moment—we need you with us. Please say you'll be there.

I'll be there to support UNRWA USA

Can’t make it? You can still support the urgent effort in Gaza. Give a gift before January 22nd or join our general call on Friday, January 17th at 4 pm Eastern.

Your action today can help protect the lifeline for millions of Palestine refugees.
