Read the text carefully then do the following activities:

Created in December 1949, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for
Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is a relief and human development agency. It
is the only one dedicated to helping refugees from a specific region or conflict and is
separate from UNHCR. Formed in 1950, UNHCR is the UN main Refugee Agency, which is
responsible for aiding other refugees all over the world. UNRWA, unlike UNHCR, allows
refugee status to be inherited by descendants.
It originally intended to provide job on public works projects and direct relief for more than six hundred
thousand Arab Palestinians who fled or were expelled from their homes during the fighting that followed the end of the
British mandate over the region of Palestine. Today, it provides education, health care and social services to the
five million registered Palestine refugees from the 1948 and 1967 wars, a number which includes all their descendants.
Aid and recruitments are provided to Palestinian refugees living in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, as well as those in the
West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
