Protests in Gaza against UNRWA name change
Ma’an -- The popular committee for Palestinian refugees intends to organize a sit-in protest in front of Gaza UNRWA offices on Tuesday, after reports said that the organization is changing its name.

Mueen Okal, head of the popular committee, said the sit-in will be peaceful.

Changing the name of the organization will carry many implications that will affect the services offered to Palestinian refugees, he added.

UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, is reportedly considering changing its name to the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees.
