Israeli Forces Start Demolishing UNRWA Headquarters

Israeli forces have begun demolishing the headquarters of UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, in occupied East Jerusalem. In a statement, the U.N. agency said, “This is an unprecedented attack not only against UNRWA and its premises. It constitutes a serious violation of international law and the privileges and immunities of the United Nations.” UNRWA was formed in 1949 to provide aid to Palestinians displaced during the Nakba.
