Palestinian protesters burn tires during a protest against the reduction of the food basket provided by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), in front of the UNRWA aid distribution center, in Jabalia in the northern of Gaza Strip on January 12, 2021. In 2020, UNRWA faced a double-crisis of unprecedented magnitude. Against the background of sustained regional and political and economic turmoil, the Agency dealt with its most drastic financial shortfall in its history. This was compounded by the unparalleled global public health crisis of COVID-19, which is now fuelling a pandemic of abject poverty. Photo by Ashraf Amra
