What will it mean for Palestinians if Israel bans UNRWA, the UN agency that provides vital aid and essential services to millions of refugees in Gaza and the West Bank? The proposals have drawn widespread condemnation and warnings of a humanitarian catastrophe. Israeli politicians have accused UNRWA staff of taking part in the 7 October attacks alongside Hamas, and have designated it a terror group. We visit refugee camps across the occupied territories to hear about the role UNRWA plays in education, health and emergency food aid, and people’s despair about the prospect of it disappearing. The agency’s services and dependents have mushroomed over the last 75 years. We look at its origins and why it has long been controversial in Israel.

  • I'm Natalia Melman Petruzella and from the BBC.

  • This is Extreme Peak Danger, the most.

  • Beautiful mountain in the world.

  • If you die on the mountain, you.

  • Stay on the mountain.

  • If I tell all the details, you won't believe it anymore.

  • Extreme Peak Danger.

  • These school girls are putting on a play using puppets.

  • A classroom of 7 and 8 year olds in light blue checkered pinafores gazes on as four of their friends from a makeshift puppet theatre tell the story of a shepherd protecting their sheep from a menacing wolf.

  • These students live in Shafat camp on the outskirts of Jerusalem, and they're all Palestinian refugees, like their parents and grandparents before them.

  • Hello.

  • Hello, how are you?

  • But from their beaming faces, you would know nothing of their precarious and sometimes difficult existence.

  • There are more than 600 boys and girls in schools like this throughout the camp, but they are not run by any Palestinian Authority, nor any Israeli one.

  • These schools, like dozens of others here in the west bank and hundreds in Gaza, are run by a humanitarian aid agency.

  • It provides health care, builds and repairs roads and homes, organizes waste collection.

  • In many ways, it looks more like a government.
