Israeli authorities have cut off water and electricity to the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in occupied East Jerusalem. The move was overseen by the Israeli energy minister, who visited the site to ensure the cessation of services, following legislation passed at the end of 2025. This action comes after previous steps taken by Israel to prevent the agency from operating in East Jerusalem, including the forced evacuation and demolition of its main office earlier in the year. Several countries have condemned these measures, highlighting the essential role the agency plays in providing healthcare, education, and social protection to Palestinians in the region and neighboring countries.
