UNRWA addresses Jerusalem incursions
The Qalandia Vocational Training Institute, the oldest UNRWA facility in East Jerusalem, is facing mounting threats from Israeli authorities to shut it down and seize it. Despite this, it provides vocational training to around 270 Palestinian refugee youth aged 15 to 19, covering multiple disciplines. The institute has been raided five times since the beginning of 2026, without prior notice or warnings, which constitutes a violation of the United Nations Privileges and Immunities Agreement. Nonetheless, the institute continues its operations as usual, and there have been no official Israeli decisions to close or confiscate it so far, despite the Israeli Knesset passing two laws that prohibit UNRWA activities in Israel and limit its relations. The institute is located on land previously used by the Jordanian government and serves students from refugee camps. It remains under constant threat, impacting its ability to continue providing training and humanitarian services.
