Since the beginning of the intifadah in September 2000 UNRWA has been working to alleviate the impact of violence, curfews and closures on the refugee population in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

As part of its emergency relief activities UNRWA provides temporary jobs for unemployed breadwinners – a program that allows the Agency to indirectly support 160,000 women and children in Gaza alone. The Agency has also greatly increased its provision of food aid - so that whereas before the strife UNRWA distributed food to 11,000 refugee families it is now targeting almost 220,000 families across the West Bank and Gaza. In total UNRWA has distributed 1.5 million food parcels. These typically contain 50kg of flour, five kg of rice, five kg of sugar, two litres of cooking oil, one kg of powdered milk and five kg of lentils.
