The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) will shut its East Jerusalem headquarters after the compound was set on fire by \u201cIsraeli extremists\u201d while staff were inside, its chief said today.<\/p>\n

In a statement on social platform X, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said the arson attack was the latest in a series of threats, harassment and violent incidents perpetrated by Israelis against the agency\u2019s staff over the past two months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis evening, Israeli residents set fire twice to the perimeter of the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem. This took place while UNRWA and other UN Agencies\u2019 staff were on the compound,\u201d Lazzarini said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an outrageous development. Once again, the lives of UN staff were at a serious risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

The facility would be closed \u201cuntil proper security is restored,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Lazzarini said the fire caused \u201cextensive damage to the outdoor areas.\u201d There were no casualties among UN staff, he added.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s relations with the UN have sunk to a historic low in recent months, with senior UN officials highly critical of Israel\u2019s war conduct in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Israeli officials have long criticized UNRWA, which plays a central role in feeding and sheltering hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees. UNRWA has repeatedly denied Israeli allegations that its aid is being diverted to Hamas or that it teaches hatred in its schools, and has questioned \u201cthe motivation of those who make such claims.\u201d The agency has condemned the Hamas attack on October 7 as \u201cabhorrent.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is ABHORRENT!
\nAlmost 6 MILLION PALESTINIAN rely on UNRWA services, both those in the Occupied Territories and the refugees in neighbouring countries! Israel is NOT ONLY DESTROYING THE PALESTINIANS. It is PREVENTING THEIR VERY SURVIVAL.<\/p>\n

THAT\u2019S GENOCIDE!<\/p>\n
