From the Gaza Strip to Jordan and Lebanon, millions of Palestinians are bracing for the worst as the Trump administration moves toward cutting funding to the U.N. agency that assists Palestinian refugees across the region.

In this Sunday, March 19, 2017 photo, Palestinian women practice with tennis balls while training for an all women's baseball game, on a soccer field in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip. The female players wear hijabs, not helmets, toss around tennis balls, not baseballs and their leather gloves have been replaced by black imitations knitted from fabric. The group of young women are trying to bring baseball to Gaza -- giving the traditional American pastime a distinctly local feel. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)

At night, large swaths of the Gaza Strip plunge into darkness _ the result of chronic and worsening power outages. In crowded city streets, the only source of light comes from the headlights of passing cars. The power shortages are the worst to hit Gaza since Hamas seized control of the territory 10 years ago.
