The occupation escalates its war on UNRWA schools in Jerusalem
The Islamic - Christian Committee strongly condemns the decision by Israeli police to deliver a notice to UNRWA schools in Shuafat refugee camp in occupied Jerusalem, ordering their evacuation within 30 days.
This decision constitutes a blatant violation of international law and united nations resolutions and represents a direct challenge to the mandate of UNRWA, which was established by a resolution of the UN general assembly to provide education and essential services to Palestinian refugees.
The Committee warns of the grave consequences of this decision, which amounts to a systematic denial of the fundamental right to education for thousands of Palestinian students. It is part of ongoing policies aimed at emptying Jerusalem of its Palestinian institutions and tightening restrictions on refugees.
The committee calls on the international community – especially the United Nations – to uphold its legal and moral responsibilities, take effective measures to stop this serious violation, and ensure the continued operation of UNRWA and its educational institutions in Jerusalem and all occupied Palestinian territories. .
