HUMANITARIAN ASSESSMENT MISSION ARRIVES IN JERUSALEM
Today, a UN inter-agency technical assessment mission, led by Assistant Emergency Relief Coordinator Ross Mountain, arrived in Jerusalem to look into the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The mission is scheduled to spend the next 10 days in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza and will produce a humanitarian plan of action for the occupied territories. It will also follow up on the other

The technical assessment mission includes senior staff from the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA
