The UN agency for Palestinian refugees has said that one of its employees was killed during an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank, AFP reports.
UNRWA said the employee was “shot and killed on the roof of his home by a sniper” and that it was “the first time a UNRWA staff member has been killed in the West Bank in more than 10 years”. The incident took place in the Faraa refugee camp in the northern West Bank, the statement said.
It identified the slain employee as Sufyan Jaber Abed Jawwad, who “worked as a sanitation labourer” in the camp and “is survived by his wife and five children”.
