Israeli attacks hit 10 UNRWA buildings in 4 days

In the last four days, 10 UNRWA buildings in Gaza have been hit by Israeli forces, the head of the agency, Philippe Lazzarini, says.

This includes “seven schools and two clinics currently used as shelters for thousands of displaced people”.

In a post on X, Lazzarini added that UNRWA, responsible for distributing humanitarian aid across Gaza, was forced to close a clinic at the Shati Camp, one of Gaza’s largest refugee camps, and added that “vital water & sanitation services are now only at half capacity”.



Foreign doctors say Israel systematically targeting Gaza’s children

Foreign doctors who have volunteered in Gaza say they have treated more than 100 children shot in the head or chest, clear evidence, they argue, that Israel is deliberately targeting minors.

In testimonies collected by the Dutch daily Volkskrant, 15 out of 17 doctors described encountering children aged below 15 with single bullet wounds to the head or chest.

Together, they identified 114 such cases during their missions in Gaza. Many of the children died, while others survived with devastating injuries.


Gaza’s Health Ministry warns Palestinian patients trapped in ‘triangle of terror’

Gaza’s Health Ministry warns that patients in the enclave are stuck in a “triangle of terror: hunger, bombing and deprivation of treatment”.

In a statement, the ministry said the medical teams in hospitals cannot continue providing life-saving support with depleted stocks of crucial medicines and tests.

“The Ministry of Health is gasping its last breaths in urgent and life-saving medical needs. Many patients and wounded are facing critical moments with unpredictable outcomes,” the statement said.

The ministry also issued a call to all “concerned parties” to exercise their influence and ensure the entry of emergency medical supplies.


Israel displacing Palestinians to ‘concentration camps’ in al-Mawasi

Gaza’s Health Ministry says Israel is forcibly displacing Palestinians under the threat of air strikes to the overcrowded “concentration camps” in the southern area of al-Mawasi.

In a statement, the ministry warned that al-Mawasi lacks the “basic necessities of life, including water, food, health services” and is an area “where illnesses spread dangerously”.

“The forcibly displaced are subjected to direct targeting and killing both inside the camps and when attempting to leave them, constituting a blatant violation of all humanitarian and international laws,” it added.

As the army has continued with its plans to seize Gaza City, residents have been forced out under threat of attack to travel southwards to the area, which the army has designated as safe.

However, al-Mawasi has also come under attack by Israel, rendering no place in the enclave safe to live or free from attacks.
