Palestinian students protest UNRWA cuts
Hundreds of uniformed students demonstrated in Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp Thursday to protest against recent U.S. funding cuts to the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees. Children wore traditional keffiyehs and waved Palestinian flags, with some holding blue balloons and posters with slogans supporting UNRWA’s “Dignity is Priceless” fundraising campaign, launched in January to raise $500 million after the United States’ decision to cut aid money to the agency.
