Shuafat, a refugee camp located in Jerusalem where many Palestinians reside, is basically being ostracized with the new plan laid out by the Trump administration. It includes cutting off aid to Palestine and moving the US embassy to Jerusalem (where many Palestinians are not allowed). While the US really has not benefited the people of Palestine anyway, the state less people of Shuafat could face even more setbacks. It is a morose refugee camp that has not been looked after and is walled off. They were organizations such as UNRWA, United Nations Relief and Works Agency, that have stepped up to the weakened role of Palestinian government. Though, even before cutting the funds to UNRWA, refugee camps like Shuafat were not benefiting from its practices because of the sheer amount of people it encompasses. Now with even more cuts to the funds, the work of UNRWA could be stretched very thin and the Palestinians trapped in small rooms in a camp may not see many more brighter days.
