The main group supporting Palestinian refugees will run out of money for vital services by September this year. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, will have to change the way it provides general and emergency services. If the agency doesn’t find one hundred million dollars, students in 58 camps across the Middle East will miss out on getting an education. This could have devastating impacts for the region.
