Title
Palestine Refugee Nutrition Development
Description
Under the precondition of receiving sufficient funding, UNRWA continuous to address micronutrient deficiencies amongst Palestine refugee women in the reproductive age and supports the nutritional status of patients with non-communicable disease (NCD), in particular diabetes and hypertension, through the provision of health services to Palestine refugees. UNRWA also helps to improve food security amongst vulnerable groups through food and cash assistance. The new targets will be set in 2022 for the midterm strategy of UNRWA for 2023-2028.
