The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid (UNOCHA) launched a humanitarian appeal to raise 502 million dollars to support more than 1.6 million Palestinians in the occupied territories.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) on Thursday said, “The 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan estimates that 2.1 million Palestinians across the occupied Palestinian territory are in need of humanitarian assistance.”
