Amman, August 11 (Petra) - The UN Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed on Tuesday that its Kalandia Training Center in occupied East Jerusalem remains operational; continuing to provide vocational education and skills training.

UNRWA noted that for over 75 years, it has delivered basic education to roughly 48,000 children and vocational training to more than 2,000 young Palestinian refugees across the occupied West Bank.

The agency pointed to the Kalandia Center as a "vital component" of these efforts, equipping hundreds of young Palestinians each year with professional qualifications to enter the workforce and achieve economic independence amid socioeconomic hardship.

UNRWA said the center "is not an empty compound" and that its doors remain open, reaffirming its commitment to providing educational and vocational programs for Palestinian youth.
