Diala‘s Diary: Welcome to Palestine
700 words are not enough to capture my first trip to Palestine. Even words like ‘eye opening’ and ‘painful’ do not do it justice. This piece is the first of our Communications Team’s recap series to highlight our trip to Palestine in summer of 2022.
The magicians behind UNRWA USA
The Gaza 5K is UNRWA USA’s signature event, and since 2012 it's been instrumental in generating critical mental health support for Palestine refugees in the Gaza Strip. But really, YOU are the magic behind our mission.
Rana Abu-Sbaih is a long time friend and supporter of our work. In honor of our upcoming NYC Gaza 5K happening in Brooklyn on Saturday, March 5, 2022, we briefly chatted with Rana about her contributions over the years, what inspires her volunteerism, and why she chooses UNRWA USA to express her solidarity with Palestine refugees.
