After another year of loss, death, and devastation, and after enduring the greatest of hardships, Palestinians whose patience has been put to the test and whose resilience has been stretched beyond imagination are looking for signs of hope. This year, UPA's staff in Gaza and elsewhere have operated in the most challenging conditions and have witnessed Palestinian communities in the most vulnerable situations.
UPA's work goes beyond food delivery and humanitarian relief. It is an investment in Palestinians' resilience and a reaffirmation of their dignity.
