07 February 2013 UNRWA Commissioner-General Filippo Grandi yesterday welcomed a Saudi Fund delegation to Rafah, Gaza, to celebrate the building of thousands of Saudi-funded homes for Palestine refugees displaced by the 2008-2009 conflict.
29 April 2010 One Laptop per Child, a non-profit organisation whose mission is to help provide every child in the world access to a modern education, is partnering with UNRWA to bring new learning opportunities to nearly half a million Palestine refugee children by 2012.
Over the year, thousands of refugees moved from Rafah camp to a nearby housing project, making the camp almost indistinguishable from the adjacent city.
