'It will devastate people': Palestinians despair at looming Unrwa closure
'It will devastate people': Palestinians despair at looming Unrwa closure.
Nobody knows what will happen when IsraelÕs ban on UN agency that provides vital services across Gaza, East Jerusalem and the West Bank comes into force on 1 February.
Fatmeh Jahaleen, 56, is seen at the counter of the UNRWA's clinic in Shuafat Refugee Camp in East Jerusalem. According to a letter sent by Danny Dannon, the Israeli Ambassador to the UN: UNRWA "is required to cease its operations in Jerusalem, and evacuate all premises in which it operates in the city, no later than 30 January 2025"
IsraelÕs Knesset (parliament) voted in October to ban UNRWAÕs operations in areas under Israeli occupation, alleging that the UN agencyÕs employees were involved in a Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023 -- a charge UNRWA denies.
Established in 1949, UNRWA has served as a critical lifeline for Palestinian refugees, supporting Palestinians across Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

NEWS: Israel: Alltag im krisengeschüttelten Ost-Jerusalem
March 15, 2015 - Jerusalem, Israel: Ahmad Karaeen on the rooftop of his home in the neighborhood of Silwan in East Jerusalem, with the iconic al-Aqsa mosque in the background. The three-story house, which is divided into apartments belonging to him, his parents and his brother's family is threatened by an Israeli demolition order. His home is located right next to a plot of land that Israeli settler organisations want to turn into a tourist centre for the nearby "City of David" attraction. The Jerusalem municipally doesn't deliver building permits for Palestinians living in East Jerusalem, forcing them to build illegally. Such "illegal" Palestinian homes are then routinely demolished, especially in Silwan, a neighborhood of East Jerusalem that attracts Jewish settlers due to its proximity to the Western Wall and to the biblical "City of David."

June 7, 1967 - East Jerusalem, Jordan: SIX DAY WAR. ISRAELI TROOPS PASSING BY SHUTTERED SHOPS IN THE EASTERN PART OF JERUSALEM, on the third day of the war. The Six-Day War also known as the Third Arab–Israeli War, was fought between June 5 and 10, 1967 by Israel against Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. In the weeks before June 1967, tensions with Egypt became dangerously heightened. In reaction to the mobilization of Egyptian forces along the Israeli border in the Sinai Peninsula, Israel launched preemptive airstrikes against Egyptian airfields, catching the Egyptians by surprise, and destroying nearly the entire Egyptian air force, giving the Israelis air superiority. Simultaneously, the Israelis launched a ground offensive into the Gaza Strip and the Sinai, which caught the Egyptians by surprise. After some initial resistance, Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser ordered the evacuation of the Sinai. Israeli forces rushed westward in pursuit of the Egyptians, inflicted heavy losses, and conquered the Sinai. Nasser induced Syria and Jordan to begin attacks on Israel by using the initially confused situation to claim that Egypt had defeated the Israeli air strike. On June 11, a ceasefire was signed. Arab casualties were far heavier than those of Israel: fewer than a thousand Israelis had been killed compared to over 20,000 from the Arab forces. Israel seized control of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, and following a counter attack, it seized the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria.
