psychological counselling and support

UNRWA establishes a unique programme of psychological counselling and support to address the challenges faced by Palestine refugees in the oPt. In 2002, the Community Mental Health Programme (CMHP) is established in Gaza to empower vulnerable refugees, especially children. In 2007, UNRWA initiates the annual Gaza Summer Games, in which around 250,000 children participate each year until 2011, breaking several Guinness World Records. Beginning in 2013, the Agency organizes smaller Summer Fun Weeks to continue providing a safe environment in which children can enjoy fun, games and sport.
