An UNRWA official has condemned Israel for demolishing buildings within the agency’s compound in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem. Last week, Israeli authorities stormed the site, flattening or severely damaging all structures after a full day of demolition. Israeli flags were raised while the United Nations flag was removed. Olaf Becker, UNRWA’s director in Jordan, denounced the actions as violations of international law that endanger UN operations. He vowed that UNRWA will persevere in the region, ensuring uninterrupted public services for Palestinian refugees despite the destruction.
