Sit-in in Sidon protests UNRWA service cuts and the infringement of Palestinian refugees' rights

Sidon, Lebanon ·

The sit-in in front of the UNRWA office in Sidon was called by the Committee for the Defence of Refugees' Rights, the Independent Palestinian Movement and the Committee of Displaced People from Syria. Dismissed teachers and educators took part, protesting cuts to the agency's health and education services.

UNRWA is the UN agency that provides health, education and relief services to Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and the Palestinian territories, and it has faced repeated funding shortfalls in recent years.
