UN chief condemns Gaza strike that killed one staff member, injured five others

I don't think they're listening. I don't think that they're listening to the people… to the people who elected them,

hostage supporter Carmeet Roth told CBS News at a new tent encampment outside the defense complex

Don't let the prime minister and the members of his government sacrifice the lives of my son Matan and of all the other living hostages just to remain in power,

shouted Zangauker, a prominent leader of the protests that happen every week

The level of bodily damage that these children get in particular is insane. My surgeries there consisted of 4- and 5- and 6-year-old kids with significant nerve injuries, and I've had to borrow nerves from both of their legs to graft nerves in their arms,

he told CBS News in a phone interview

We're ready with a different set of plans, including more troops on the ground and a ground operation if needed,

he told CBS News at a briefing this week

Reports are coming in that a UNOPS colleague has been killed in a detonation in Deir al Balah. It is understood that UNOPS accommodation was hit at approximately 11:30 a.m. this morning,

the agency said

You can go up to, let's say, 80%, 90% of destroying the Hamas,

he said

We know over a year now that military pressure does not bring back the hostages,

he said

What we do know is that an explosive ordnance was dropped or fired at the infrastructure and detonated inside the building,

UNOPS said

This was not an accident, this was an incident,

said UNOPS Executive Director Jorge Moreira da Silva

Jorge Moreira da SilvauNOPS chief

These premises were well known by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and they were 'deconflicted',

UNOPS chief Jorge Moreira da Silva said

The Secretary-General stresses the need for the ceasefire to be respected to bring an end to the suffering of the people. Humanitarian aid must reach all people in need. The hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally,

the spokesman added

Contrary to reports, the IDF did not target a UN facility in Deir al-Balah,

it said in a statement

There is no confirmation at this stage as to the nature of the incident, however the location is isolated,

it said

The circumstances of the incident are being investigated,

he said,

Israel knew this was a UN premise, that people were living, staying and working there,

he said

Israel Katzdefence Minister

Return the hostages and remove Hamas, and other options will open up for you – including the possibility of leaving for other places in the world, for those who want to,

Katz said

There was a very good reason Israel did not want to go to phase two [of the ceasefire agreement]. It would have meant Hamas staying in Gaza, staying in power and Israel having to lift its siege too … There was a complete disconnect between the interests of the two sides.”

Prof Danny Orbach, an expert in military history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said

Due to the recent suspension of humanitarian aid into Gaza, stocks of medical supplies have dropped significantly and on top of this, hospital staff are struggling to manage the sharp increase of casualties,

said the ICRC in a statement

Hamas has not closed the door on negotiations, but we insist there is no need for new agreements,

Taher al-Nunu, a Hamas official, said on Wednesday

The locations of all UN premises are known to the parties to the conflict, who are bound by international law to protect them and maintain their absolute inviolability,

the statement continued
