This is one of the most difficult days that we’ve faced in UNRWA in Gaza during the most difficult conflict that we’ve ever faced,
Humanitarian staff, premises and operations have been blatantly and unabatedly disregarded since the beginning of the war,
The IDF stated that they had targeted a command-and-control center in the compound. This incident must be independently and thoroughly investigated to ensure accountability,
The pattern of attacks on shelters leading to verifiably high civilian fatalities, especially in an area that the Israeli military has unilaterally declared safe, suggests a complete disregard for the lives of Palestinian civilians and raises grave concerns about the systematic commission of disproportionate attacks or attacks directed at civilians, which are war crimes,
