Israeli bulldozers damaged the office of UN aid agency UNRWA in the West Bank’s Nur Shams camp on Thursday, the agency’s chief, Philippe Lazzarini, says.

Lazzarini says in a post on social media platform X that the office “can no longer be used,” hours after the IDF announced that it was carrying out a counter-terror raid in Nur Shams.
