UN Palestinian Aid Agency Says Israeli Police 'Forcibly Entered' Compound in Jerusalem
The raid follows a March ban and ongoing Israeli efforts to limit UNRWA's aid to over 900,000 Palestinians in the West Bank, drawing international condemnation.
- On Monday, Israeli forces raided the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem, entering the Sheikh Jarrah compound and cutting communications.
- Israeli authorities have pursued a long-running campaign to curtail UNRWA since October 7, 2023, including a March ban affecting more than 900,000 Palestinians and a January prohibition.
- Troops stormed the premises, searching and confiscating security guards' phones, while forces brought trucks and forklifts into the compound and photos provided by UNRWA staff show Israeli police inside.
- The Jerusalem Governorate called the entry a flagrant violation of international law and UN institutions' immunity, while UNRWA spokesperson Tamara Alrifai condemned it as an unacceptable violation and Jordan's foreign ministry warned of `catastrophic repercussions`.
- UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees employs 30,000 staff serving six million Palestinian refugees and shelters more than one million displaced people while distributing two-thirds of Gaza's food.
