UN Staff In West Bank Subjected To 'Systematic Harassment' By Israel: Report

Israel has killed at least 168 UN staff members in Gaza since October and has tortured those in detention into falsely claiming the organization has 'ties to Hamas'

UN staff members in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem have been blindfolded and beaten as part of a “systematic campaign of obstruction and harassment by the Israeli military and authorities” since the start of Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, according to internal UN documents obtained by The Guardian.

The incidents also include the use of UN checkpoints by Israeli troops as “firing positions” during near-daily raids of Palestinian towns and refugee camps in which hundreds have been killed.

In the occupied West Bank, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) runs 96 schools and 43 health clinics for 871,000 registered Palestinian refugees.

“UNRWA staff [in the West Bank] have been verbally abused, subject to identity checks and searches, and required to lift their clothing to demonstrate the absence of weapons,” the documents detail, highlighting that “increasingly egregious violations of privileges and immunities of the UN have been recorded, including entries into UNRWA installations by armed personnel as part of [the Israeli army's] operations, as well as damage to UNRWA installations incurred during the course of such operations.”

In one of the most severe incidents recorded by the UN agency, staff in a marked UN vehicle were “forced [to get out] at gunpoint" after an Israeli soldier “forcefully” removed the keys from the ignition. “The staff were then instructed to kneel, were blindfolded, handcuffed with plastic cable ties, and beaten before a senior officer intervened,” the documents detail.

The humanitarian agency has also recorded “135 incidents affecting its clinics, schools or offices, from incursions and misuse to military operations resulting in teargas canisters or bullets landing in them.”
