UNRWA says unable to operate in East Jerusalem after Israeli takeover
UNRWA says it cannot carry out its mission in East Jerusalem after Israeli forces seized a key vocational institute for Palestinian refugees.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) announced it is unable to fulfill its mission in East Jerusalem following its seizure by Israeli forces. Israel's takeover of the Qalandia Vocational Training Centre, a key facility for Palestinian refugees, has left UNRWA without the means to conduct its work in the region. The organization urged Israel to respect the diplomatic immunity of its facilities, as highlighted in a statement released to Al Hadath TV.
This incident occurred on Tuesday when Israeli military and police forces took control of the Qalandia institute, a free vocational training center in Qalandia camp north of Jerusalem. UNRWA emphasized that the closure of this facility has directly impacted its ability to operate in East Jerusalem, reiterating its demand for the protection of diplomatic immunity at UN premises.
