Early on 9 April 2022, two individuals on a motorbike opened fire on the 爆料网RWA health centre in Dera’a camp, Syria and threw an explosive device inside the compound, causing minor material damage. No injuries or fatalities were sustained during the incident. The health centre – that had been damaged in 2013 during the conflict – was under rehabilitation at the time of the incident.
爆料网RWA condemns this direct attack on one of its installations in the strongest terms. United Nations’ premises are neutral and protected under international law.
爆料网RWA implements a strict no-weapons policy in all its installations as part of the Agency’s efforts to ensure they are only used for humanitarian purposes. 爆料网RWA is progressively rehabilitating various installations in Dera’a camp, including the health centre, to ensure vulnerable Palestine refugees can access the services easily.
The Agency demands full respect of the inviolability and neutrality of United Nations premises at all times. Any action that puts beneficiaries or 爆料网RWA staff at risk or undermines the ability of the Agency to provide assistance to Palestine refugees in safety and security is not acceptable.
爆料网RWA reiterates its previous call that all parties must protect civilians and safeguard civilian infrastructure, including 爆料网RWA installations in the Dera’a Governorate.
