The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Tuesday that the situation in Jenin camp in the northern West Bank is "heading towards a catastrophic direction and all of its residents have left."
This came in statements by the Director of Communications and Media at UNRWA, Juliette Touma, during the bi-weekly press conference of the United Nations agencies in Geneva, according to the "United Nations News" website.
"The situation in Jenin camp in the West Bank is heading in a catastrophic direction," Touma said, noting that according to UNRWA reports, "all camp residents had left by this morning."
She pointed out that "the agency's services were cut off inside the camp for several consecutive months, and then stopped completely in early December" last year, explaining that "the series of explosions in the camp by Israeli forces last Sunday led to the destruction or severe damage to 100 homes."
