Unrwa HQ in East Jerusalem set on fire after Israeli demolition

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem has been set on fire in a suspected arson attack. This destructive blaze occurred less than a week after Israeli forces had already demolished the compound in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. UNRWA's chief condemned the fire as the latest attack in an ongoing attempt to dismantle the status of Palestinian refugees and erase their history. The demolition and fire follow Israel's seizure of the compound last year after passing a law to ban the agency, which provides essential humanitarian aid to millions.
