1,200+ people in one place, over $250,000 raised for Gaza.
Highlights from the Dallas Gaza 5K on Saturday, May 16 ❤️

Over 1,200 Americans came together that day—for Gaza, for Palestinian children who deserve a brighter future than the present they’ve known, for a shared belief in our collective humanity.

The Dallas community raised more than $250,000 to support UNRWA mental health counselors in Gaza who are providing trauma-informed care, psychological first aid, and psychosocial support to Palestinian children in Gaza who have lived through over two years of what experts call a genocide.

To date, UNRWA staff have provided psychosocial support to over 70% of children in Gaza. Despite constant attacks on UNRWA staff and on every aspect of life in Gaza, UNRWA continues to deliver essential services with the utmost level of care, dignity, and professionalism. Every action taken and every dollar raised at the grassroots level in the U.S. is transformational and a testament to the fact that we have the power to make a difference for Palestine refugees even from hundreds of miles away.

Today is also World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, and it’s not lost on us how the blend of cultures, languages, and various walks of life all came together so beautifully this past Saturday. The Dallas Gaza 5K was a moving display of what’s possible when we celebrate the diversity in each other and the brighter world we can build together.

From Gaza to Dallas, community is what carries people through. Our solidarity across cultures and borders remains as important as ever.

Thank you to everyone who ran, walked, donated, volunteered and showed up for Palestine refugees this week.

Dallas, thank you for heeding our call. Thank you for moving for Gaza.

Finally, we’d like to send sincere gratitude to every individual who volunteered their time and talents to capture this event.

With great thanks to:

For Noor, education has always been an act of resilience — a way to hold on, to give back, and to dream forward. She trained to become a teacher at UNRWA schools, eager to give back to her community — until the war on Gaza forced her to flee.

After surviving displacement and the devastating loss of her husband, Noor now lives in Egypt with her young son. Through our partner @NaTakallam, she’s found a way back — teaching Arabic, English, and sharing her story and rich Palestinian culture with students around the world.

At UNRWA USA, we created our #VoicesofUNRWA blog to offer a platform for Palestine refugees to share their own stories — raw, real, and in their own words. These aren’t just stories of survival. They’re stories of strength, identity, and possibility.

✍🏼 Noor’s story is now part of that growing collection.
📚 Read Noor’s full story via the link in our bio — and explore ways to support Palestine refugees, including by signing up for Arabic lessons with @NaTakallam.

We welcome guest writers, especially UNRWA alumni, to contribute to this living archive of memory, resilience, and hope.

Healthcare Workers for Palestine running the @unrwa / @unrwausa 5k today! These energetic runners and healthcare workers raised $55,000+ in about a month for the much needed agency that provides relief and support for Palestinians. The defunding of UNRWA after unsubstantiated accusations is a moral crime, and we are all doing our part to try and keep UNRWA operations sustainable. Thank you to these amazing healthcare workers for their dedication, fundraising skills, and solidarity with Palestine!

🇵🇸 $50,000+ (link in bio!)!!! A fundraising campaign kicked off several weeks ago by a group of runners in Healthcare Workers for Palestine- NYC has broken all of our expectations! What started as an ambitious goal of $25,000 led to us breaking that goal in a short time, as health care workers persistently reached out to their personal and professional networks to fundraise. These leaders also came together and trained for the 5k, made T-shirts, and encouraged further participation from their colleagues. We are so grateful to all the healthcare workers who helped raise this amount and believe in all that we can do when we work together! We will see you out there running and breaking records tomorrow! ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

Accidentally did a 7k so I think we are ready for Saturday!

The UNRWA is less than $200k from their goal! Help bring mental health services to Palestinians by donating at the link in my bio.

***

The iconic NYC event, now in its eighth year, takes place at the gorgeous Prospect Park in Brooklyn and is your chance to provide critical psychosocial support to the millions impacted by the 2023 assaults on Gaza.

If you haven’t done a Gaza 5K before, expect to gather community draw strength from each other, and do everything we can for refugees in Gaza. This event includes a 5K walk/run, breakfast, coffee, fundraising prizes, and as much Palestinian culture as we can squeeze into your morning.

The Gaza 5K is your chance to meet and connect with folks who share your solidarity and commitment to the mental wellbeing of refugees. Learn more about Gaza 5K history at gaza5k.org.

100% profits go to @unrwausa to help our brothers and sisters in Palestine.

Poem by the incredible @mosab_abutoha who has personally suffered in the genocide.

No divisions amongst religions, race, culture, gender or politics, just the good overcoming the evil 🤲
