“Despite the challenges we face, we continue with happiness to perform our work and duty with UNRWA,” says Ahmad, a sanitation monitor for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza.

UNRWA sanitation teams have not stopped working to maintain hygiene in UNRWA shelters and sites across Gaza through “bombardment, displacement, or despair”, says a post by the agency on X.

“The courage of our colleagues in Gaza is not infinite. Beyond praise, they need protection.”
