Middle East peace starts with development
The Middle East peace process needs the help of aid workers to build a lasting peace through education, health and opportunity
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) is using this powerful phrase as the basis for an outreach campaign that explains who we are, but more importantly who are the 4.8 million Palestine refugees we serve and why our human development work with them, in the Arab countries and territories around Israel, provides a starting point on which peace – one day – can and will be built.
