  "account": "The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) expressed concern over assets worth over US$5 million stored at a training center in East Jerusalem, which were targeted by Israeli forces. The Qalandiya Training Center, UNRWA's oldest technical and vocational facility in the West Bank, houses dozens of vocational training workshops, classrooms, dormitories, and administrative buildings, along with valuable tools and equipment. On August 25, Israeli security forces, municipal staff, and an elected official forcibly entered the center, causing damage and signs of looting before leaving. Israeli authorities subsequently remained on the premises, continuing renovation and clearance work. UNRWA stressed the need to protect the center and its assets, as they are crucial for providing education and vocational skills to Palestinian refugee youth. Israeli authorities have a legal obligation to reverse their actions and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.",
  "summary": "Israeli forces forcibly entered the UNRWA training centre in East Jerusalem earlier this week, with damage and signs of looting found after their withdrawal.",
