Israeli occupation forces removed signage bearing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency acronym from Shufat refugee camp and replaced it with Israeli school markings, Maan Wire reported. The action comes after Israel ended its cooperation with UNRWA, the primary humanitarian organization serving Palestinians in the occupied territories and across the region.
The removal of UNRWA identifiers from the camp signals a deepening rupture between Israeli authorities and the agency's operations in Palestinian areas. Shufat camp, situated near Jerusalem, houses thousands of Palestinian refugees who depend on UNRWA services for education, healthcare, and humanitarian assistance. The replacement of agency signage with Israeli institutional markers underscores Israel's assertion of control over infrastructure and institutions within the camp.
