Official Statement On the situation in Jenin camp: UNRWA
UNRWA logo
3 February 2025,Amman: In a split second yesterday, large swathes of Jenin camp were completely destroyed in a series of controlled detonations by the Israeli Security Forces.
Residents of the camp have endured the impossible, facing nearly two months of unceasing and escalating violence. In the last months, Jenin camp has been rendered a ghost town.
The operations conducted both by Israeli and Palestinian security forces have led to the forced displacement of thousands of camp residents, many of whom will now have nowhere to return to. The basics of life are gone.
On a day that was supposed to mark the beginning of the new school semester for thousands of children, 13 schools in the northern West Bank remained closed due to ISF operations in the area.
UNRWA's services inside Jenin camp have been interrupted for months and stopped completely in early December.
Today’s shocking scenes in the West Bank undermine the fragile ceasefire reached in Gaza, and risk a new escalation.
UNRWA received no prior warning of these detonations, as contact between staff and Israeli authorities is no longer permitted - putting civilian lives at risk.
