UNRWA at a Crisis Point—Gaza: The Human Toll

The CSIS live studio conversations, ‘Gaza: The Human Toll,’ are a product of the CSIS Bipartisan Alliance for Global Health Security, with co-sponsorship of the CSIS Humanitarian Agenda and the CSIS Middle East Program. The show will convene regularly during this crisis period to capture clearly and accurately the evolving humanitarian and health situation inside Gaza, understand how the conduct of the conflict is shaping outcomes and future policy and operational choices, think carefully about what may lie ahead, and hear from key operational international agencies and NGOs providing humanitarian assistance, as well as other experts with vital insights. Throughout these conversations, speakers will explore current and proposed U.S. policies.

This episode will focus on the crisis surrounding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) operations in Gaza. J. Stephen Morrison, Senior Vice President and Director, Global Health Policy Center, will be joined by Zaher Sahloul, President and Co-Founder, MedGlobal, Michelle Strucke, Director and Senior Fellow, Humanitarian Agenda, and Leonard Rubenstein, Senior Associate (Non-resident), Global Health Policy Center. 

This event is made possible by the generous support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
