Israel Seizes UNRWA's Last Major Base in East Jerusalem, 340 Trainees Displaced
The Qalandiya Training Centre trained about 340 Palestinians a year since 1952. After an Aug. 25 raid and Aug. 28 pullout, its future — and theirs — is uncertain.
Cosa sapevamo all'inizio
- Israeli forces raided and seized Qalandiya Training Centre on Aug 25, the last UNRWA facility still operating in Jerusalem
- About 340 Palestinians trained there annually and now risk losing education access
- Over $5M in assets were at risk, with damage and looting reported after withdrawal
- Israeli troops had withdrawn by midday Aug 28
- It was the fifth incursion at the site since May
- Israel plans a school and community complex there under its late-2024 ban on UNRWA
Allora ancora aperto
- No verified full inventory of what was damaged, taken, or left unusable inside workshops and classrooms
- No confirmed arrangement for the 340 enrolled trainees to continue their courses elsewhere
Cosa avevamo detto di seguire
- Whether UN staff are allowed sustained re-entry to assess and secure the site
- Whether the planned municipal school project proceeds or is frozen under diplomatic pressure
