ALBAWABA - An AFP journalist confirmed that Israeli forces closed down two UN schools in annexed east Jerusalem on Thursday morning.
On the other hand, sources confirmed to Al Jazeera that Israeli forces raided UNRWA schools in the Shuafat refugee camp, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, in preparation for their closure.
This comes as the decision to close UNRWA schools, which came into effect today, May 8, banning hundreds of students in Jerusalem from their education.
The Jerusalem Governorate said that the Israeli soldiers asked UNRWA students and teaching staff to leave the area immediately.
