In the face of these unprecedented challenges, UNRWA will continue to be the main lifeline for hundreds of thousands of Palestine refugee families in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. With different overlapping crises across the region expected to deepen over the foreseeable future, the 2023 Emergency Appeal will enable UNRWA to provide a safety net and to continue the delivery of its essential services and protection support to an increasingly vulnerable population. Priority needs for Palestine refugees will remain cash and food assistance, health care, education and protection support, technical and vocational training and environmental health services. These emergency interventions in 2023 will critically support the resilience of Palestine refugees, to allow them to cope with crisis and to prevent them from falling into further impoverishment and despair.
