 this announcement is gonna make life difficult for both arabs and joos;


Ahmad Ayyesh, 41 and a father of six children, is standing in a protest in the midday heat on Tuesday afternoon outside the large doors of United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) headquarters in Gaza City. He joined the protest to raise his voice and demand that the agency’s financial crisis does not end the services he and his family depend on. UNRWA services, including healthcare, food, education, and jobs, mean life to most Palestinian refugees. Any changes to these services would disrupt the lives of over 1.2 million people in the Gaza Strip.

Ayyesh lost his hand in one of the Israeli attacks on Gaza, and he receives aid from the UN programs in Gaza as a Palestinian refugee. But the past few months were very hard on him and his family as the security net in Gaza is disappearing. Last month, his World Food Program aid was cut, and now, the other basic needs he and his family rely on from UNRWA are on the verge of ending. 

“We are here to send a message to the oppressor world that supports Israel with weapons and funds Ukraine to tell them that our lives depend on UNRWA aid, and to tell UNRWA that we do not accept these conditions of receiving our rights. The world must uphold its responsibilities toward Palestinian refugees or help them return to their homes,” he said........more........
