Ahmed Abdullah
Headmaster, UNRWA Preparatory A Boys School, Jabalia camp, Gaza

"UNRWA is a good and very serious part of our lives as refugees. First of all, the Agency gave us rations when there were no rations. They gave us homes when there were no homes. But the most important area of help has been in education. Many Palestinians are well educated with the help of UNRWA. Many people changed their lives with UNRWA's help. They had a chance to get an education in primary and preparatory schools, and some of them had the possibility to join vocational training centres, and then they found jobs."
