JENIN (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Director of UNRWA Affairs in the West Bank Roland Friedrich said on Wednesday that Israel is “using advanced weaponry and warfare methods including airstrikes” in its “massive operation” in the flashpoint West Bank town of Jenin.
On Tuesday, Israeli forces launched a large-scale operation in Jenin killing at least 10 people and injuring many others, just days after a ceasefire between Hamas and the Israeli occupation regime took effect in the Gaza Strip.
Friedrich said Jenin Camp is “nearly uninhabitable, with some 2,000 families displaced since mid-December.”
“UNRWA has been unable to provide full services to the camp in this time,” he said on X.
“The operation comes merely a week before implementation of Israeli legislation that severely undermines UNRWA’s operations in the West Bank, including coordination of humanitarian access,” he said.
“It also threatens to undermine the fragile ceasefire reached just days ago in Gaza,” Friedrich added.
