'I am shocked by attacks on UNRWA 's head quarter in East Jerusalem'.

'As host country, Israel has a duty to protect UN personnel and premises at any time. The incidents must be investigated, those responsible must be held accountable. UNRWA is the lifeline for 6 mill Palestine refugees', said Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide.
