The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has said it provided over 6.7 million medical consultations since Israel’s offensive in Gaza began last October.

“UNRWA provides lifesaving healthcare, food, shelter, learning for children, and mental health support,” it said on X.

Since the conflict began, UNRWA said it provided ⁠“over 6.7 million medical consultations” and “⁠⁠psychosocial support to around 730,000 displaced people, including over half a million children”.

“This agency is [a] lifeline for more than 2 million people impacted due to this brutal war,” the UNRWA highlighted.
