Voices of UNRWA
The Voices of UNRWA Blog is dedicated to sharing the real stories and lived experiences of Palestine refugees with American readers.
Through this blog, you’ll discover personal reflections, inspiring journeys, and updates from UNRWA alumni — many of whom now call the United States home.
We also welcome guest contributors, especially UNRWA alumni, who wish to share their own stories and perspectives.
If you’re interested in contributing to the blog, we’d love to hear from you.
Maybe they don’t care about Palestine
UNRWA USA’s Director of Philanthropy Hani Almadhoun reflects on our latest Gaza 5K in the Bay Area on October 1st. The Gaza 5K was a huge success, which came as a pleasant surprise for our team as there has been a five-year hiatus since the last San Francisco event. The California wildfires coupled with the pandemic have kept UNRWA USA’s Gaza 5Ks within the virtual space, but we are ecstatic to finally be back with our supporters on the West Coast.
