RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Ramallah- 20 June 2023. Palestinians take part in a protest demanding their rights in front of the headquarters United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), in the West Bank city of Ramallah. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Sam al-Salihi, member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization. STORYLINE: Each year on 20 June, the world celebrates World Refugee Day, the international day to honour people who have been forced to flee. Today, 80% of people living in Gaza are refugees. But that doesn’t mean that the remaining 20% of residents haven’t also been displaced. With Israel’s continual attacks and bombings of homes and properties, many Palestinians in Gaza have experienced internal displacement all over again. During the 2014 Israeli war on Gaza, 100,000 people fled Israeli airstrikes and sought shelter in UNRWA schools, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Under the Israeli occupation and under the blockade, restrictions on imports and exports have also led to unemployment rates of 45% Among us youth, the rate is 70%. The Gaza economy has been destroyed, and today, over 80% of people depend on international assistance to survive. Living in Gaza City is challenging, but it is much worse in refugee camps. The camps are densely populated and lack basic infrastructure such as roads or sanitation and have limited access to basic services. Footage by /APA
