Voices of UNRWA

Share your story

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.
