UN school funding cuts anger parents, students in Gaza

A group representing students' parents organized a protest in Gaza on Wednesday, against proposed reduction to services at schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

Men, women and children marched arm-in-arm to the UN headquarters. The UNRWA is looking into cost-cutting measures due to a financial crisis.

The relief agency, which helps Palestine refugees across the Middle East, is searching for alternative revenue streams after US government withdrew around $305 million in funding.
