UNRWA: No prior notice of HQ raid
The spokesperson for the UNRWA, Adnan Abu Hasna, confirmed that the Israeli occupation did not notify the agency of its intention to storm its headquarters and the Qalandia Vocational Training Institute in Jerusalem, despite recent threats to seize both sites. Abu Hasna described this as a serious and unprecedented escalation targeting the United Nations system, noting that the UN flag has been removed from the site along with evacuation notices. There is a pending expectation that the occupation will demolish the facility using bulldozers, as it previously did with the agency’s headquarters in Sheikh Jarrah. The institute, established in 1953 and serving around 300 students, has played a significant role in training and qualifying Palestinian youth. Meanwhile, UNRWA faces ongoing attacks, including the destruction of over 90% of its facilities in Gaza and the assassination of more than 393 of its staff members since the start of the war. The agency is undertaking legal and diplomatic efforts, including filing a lawsuit before the Israeli Supreme Court. It continues to press for the preservation of its facilities and staff, based on international agreements that prohibit demolishing its structures and affirm their protections in the occupied territories.
