Israeli forces raid Unrwa centres serving 16,000 Palestinian refugees Israeli forces have stormed Unrwa vocational centres in Qalandiya and Kufr Aqab that serve about 16,000 Palestinian refugees across the occupied West Bank. The raids follow Israel’s assault on Unrwa’s headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem several months ago, when forces expelled staff and demolished sections of the building. Israel could intensify its attacks on the UN agency before October’s elections as far-right ministers press to dismantle Unrwa and other organisations serving Palestinians.
