In this talk, Mohammed Eid, a 28-year-old Palestine refugee and currently a Rotary Peace Scholar pursuing a master’s degree in Global Studies and International Development through a joint program at the University of North Carolina and Duke University, discusses growing up in Gaza and the role the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) played in his life.
This panel examines the situation in Gaza at present as understood by the Palestinians in Gaza themselves and by the nongovernmental organizations and international donors working in reconstruction and relief. Speakers also address the short-term and long-term social and political challenges on the ground, including Israel’s accountability for the invasion and what the international community should be doing to avert another war in Gaza.
Through educational events, humanitarian support, and cultural preservation, the Jerusalem Fund is helping build the movement for Palestinian liberation.
