Description: UNRWA has long provided education, healthcare and aid in Gaza, but Israeli restrictions have rendered much of its network non-functional. Before the war, 300,000 children attended 288 UNRWA schools; many now shelter displaced families. Only six of 22 former healthcare centres remain active, leaving chronic-illness patients struggling to obtain medicine.
