UNRWA warns of new escalation in Jenin: civilian lives in danger!
On February 3, 2025, UNRWA, the United Nations relief agency for Palestinian refugees, sharply criticized Israel's current military actions in the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank. According to a UNRWA statement in Amman, the Israeli measures undermine the fragile ceasefire and could lead to a new escalation of violence. What is particularly worrying is that since its employees were banned from working due to suspected links to Hamas, the aid agency can no longer issue advance warnings about the destruction of critical infrastructure in the Jenin refugee camp. This situation massively endangers the lives of the civilian population kathpress.at reported.
At least 25 Palestinians have already been killed, including a two-year-old girl, in a dramatic wave of military operations launched two weeks ago called the Iron Wall. According to the Ministry of Health, a total of 38 Palestinians have died in Jenin since the beginning of the year. The Israeli army said it destroyed 23 buildings in the refugee camp last week that were considered terrorist infrastructure and also called on neighboring neighborhoods to evacuate. These attacks have displaced thousands of residents from the city, further destabilizing their livelihoods as well The mirror reported.
