Title
Palestine refugee nutrition development
Description
Under the precondition of receiving sufficient funding, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) continues to address micronutrient deficiencies among Palestine refugee women of reproductive age and supports the nutritional status of patients with NCDs – in particular, diabetes and hypertension – through the provision of health services to Palestine refugees. The UNRWA also helps to improve food security among vulnerable groups through food and cash assistance. The new targets will be set in 2022 for the midterm strategy of UNRWA for 2023–2028.
