This 1961 regular commemorative issue honors the development programs of the United Nations, carrying the explicit theme "TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE / المعونة الفنية". The symbolic graphic composition features an open textbook, a heavy industrial cogwheel, and an ear of corn rising together against a backdrop of sun rays, with the official UN emblem positioned in the upper-left corner. Natively bearing the vertical "PALESTINE" designation alongside the country name of the United Arab Republic (UAR), the stamp was distributed to post offices in the Gaza Strip to highlight global initiatives in education, modernization, and food security.
