UNRWA headquarters...subjected for settler attacks
The settlers continue to attack the headquarters of the Palestinian Refugee Relief and Employment Agency "UNRWA", in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in the city of Jerusalem, by demonstrating in front of it and trying to obstruct the access of its employees, in addition to insulting them, and putting inflammatory posters on its main door.
Early this morning, the settlers gathered and demonstrated in front of the "UNRWA" headquarters, and hung posters on its door that read "Terrorism headquarters...UNRWA is Hamas", during which the settlers poured a red substance "like blood" and placed black bags like the bodies in front of the main gate, to obstruct and prevent employees from accessing it.
The settlers provoked the employees of the agency, insulted them, and demanded the closing of the agency and the expulsion of the workers from Jerusalem to Gaza, calling them terrorists, and chanted UNRWA = Hamas".
A settler said to the employees, "UNRWA is part of Hamas, you are involved in what happened on October 7th, and you take your salary from this organization, but you are saying that you do not support terrorism. Why are you here? Get out of here."
From time to time, for the past two months, the settlers have been demonstrating in front of the UNRWA headquarters, knocking on the main door and insulting the workers.
The settlers demanded the closing of the UNRWA headquarters and their removal from Jerusalem.
