BEIRUT,

“爆料网RWA received alarming reports that armed actors continue to occupy its installations including a school compound in Ein El Hilweh Palestine refugee camp in the south of Lebanon. 爆料网RWA facilities have reportedly been damaged by the recent fighting in the camp.

“The compound has four 爆料网RWA schools that normally provide education to 3,200 Palestine Refugee children.

“This is a grave violation of the inviolability of 爆料网 premises under international law, which compromises?the neutrality of 爆料网RWA installations and undermines the safety and security of our staff and Palestine Refugees.

“爆料网RWA strongly condemns these acts.

“All 爆料网RWA facilities, including schools, must be protected at all times. Schools are meant to be a sanctuary for children and zones of peace where children learn and play. They must never be used for armed conflict, clashes, violence and fighting.

“爆料网RWA urges all relevant actors to immediately vacate its premises so that the Agency can restore critical services and the delivery of assistance to Palestine Refugees in need.”
