UNRWA Statement

The Neutrality and Inviolability of UNRWA Installations Must be Respected at
All Times

4 June 2021
East Jerusalem

UNRWA is deeply concerned about actions by parties to the conflict during
recent hostilities in Gaza that caused damage to its installations and
violated its inviolability and neutrality.

With no advanced warning, between 13 and 15 May 2021, the Israeli Air Force
conducted strikes that caused damage to UNRWA installations, most notably to
the UNRWA Zaitoun Preparatory Boys' School "A" and Elementary Boys' School
"A". This included the school inner compound yard, which was struck by a
missile, contrary to the inviolability of UNRWA premises and despite the
schools being designated as an emergency shelter for civilians during the
11-day escalation. The strike calls into question respect for the
fundamental principle of inviolability. Thankfully, no displaced persons
were inside the school at the time of the strike and no physical injurwere
caused.

The Agency's installations, like all United Nations facilities, are marked
as such and fly a United Nations flag on the roof. UNRWA shares the
coordinates of all of its installations periodically with relevant Israeli
authorities and in times of conflict, the coordinates of designated
emergency shelters are shared daily.

While investigating how to secure the building from the missile, a detailed
assessment on 31 May 2021 revealed what appears to be a cavity and a
possible tunnel, at the location of the missile strike. The depth of the
cavity is approximately 7.5 meters below the surface of the school. UNRWA
discovered the existence of a possible tunnel in the context of the
investigation of the fired missile. There is no indication of the existence
of any entry or exit points for the tunnel within the premises.

UNRWA condemns the existence and potential use by Palestinian armed groups
of such tunnels underneath its schools in the strongest possible terms. It
is unacceptable that students and staff be placed at risk in such a way.

UNRWA demands that all parties desist from any activities or conduct that
put beneficiaries and staff at risk and undermine the ability of UNRWA staff
to provide assistance to Palestine refugees in safety and security. UNRWA
installations are inviolable, and their neutrality must be respected at all
times.

UNRWA calls for the parties to the conflict to act in accordance with
international law. Letters of protest regarding this incident have been sent
to both parties.
