UNRWA, Palestinian students urge funding ahead of Rome conference
Hundreds of Palestinian students, alongside UNRWA officials, took part in an event Monday urging vital funding for the agency ahead of a Rome donor conference slated for March 15.
Students of the UNRWA-funded Birzeit and Beit Jala schools in the Mount Lebanon town of Sibline danced Palestinian-style dabkeh and flew paper kites bearing UNRWA’s “Dignity is Priceless” slogan, in the latest public bid for international funding for the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency.
