Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: The Gaza Herald news agency reported yesterday evening (Friday, November 1) that the Israeli army on Thursday arrested a Palestinian employee of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), Raed Al-Afifi, while crossing the Karm Abu Salem crossing in the southern Gaza Strip.

 

The Israeli army kidnapped "Raed Al-Afifi", a Palestinian employee of the United Nations in the Gaza Strip.

 

This is despite the fact that he had a UN passport and an entry permit with full coordination from Tel Aviv.

 

According to the source, Israeli forces abducted Al-Afifi and have since forcibly disappeared him, with neither his family nor UN staff having any information about his whereabouts or physical condition.

 

This incident occurred at a time when Tel Aviv continues to close Gaza Strip crossings to Palestinians, foreign delegations and UN agencies, allowing passage only in limited cases and without public announcement.
