Fire breaks out at UNRWA headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem after partial demolition by Israel

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said on Sunday that a fire had been set at its headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem, which Israeli bulldozers partially demolished last week. UNRWA, which Israel banned from operating inside the country in 2025, did not give details about the cause of the fire at its compound. In a statement, the United Nations agency said: “After having been stormed and demolished by the Israeli authorities, the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem has now been set on fire.”        The agency described the fire as part of an “ongoing attempt to dismantle the status of Palestine refugees in the Occupied Palestinian territory and erase their history.” READ: UN rapporteur says Israeli demolition of UNRWA compound […]
