Threats Loom Over UNRWA Vocational College in East Jerusalem
Israel is targeting the Qalandiya Training Centre, which stands as the agency's only remaining vocational school in the city.
The Qalandiya Training Centre operates in East Jerusalem as a vocational college run by UNRWA. It serves as the agency's first and only remaining institution of its kind in the region.
The building stands as one of the oldest educational centers still active in the city. It maintains its operational status despite regional pressures.
Israeli authorities are currently threatening the center. The ongoing pressure places the historic institution at risk.
