Since its founding in 1949, UNRWA, the UN Agency providing assistance to Palestine refugees in the Middle East, has collected photographs and films covering many aspects of the lives and history of Palestine refugees – from the 1948 Arab-Israeli War until the unrest that began in 2000 in the occupied Palestinian territory and the conflict in Syria. This archive represents an invaluable historical record of the Palestine refugee experience and as such has been inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of The World Register. The Long Journey is a travelling exhibition of photos that tell the story of the many challenges Palestine refugees have faced as well as that of the ingenuity, resilience and steadfastness with which they have responded. The Brussels edition showcases and illustrates European Union support to Palestine refugees and to UNRWA throughout the years.
