Lazareeni: Israel Bombed 10 UNRWA Buildings in Gaza City, Including 7 Schools, in a Few Days

SadaNews - The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazareeni, announced that Israel has bombed 10 of the agency’s buildings in Gaza City in just the last four days, including 7 schools and 2 clinics, which are currently being used as shelters for thousands of displaced individuals.

For several days, Israel has begun a gradual campaign of destruction of high-rise residential buildings in Gaza City, increasing the number of displaced families and forcing them into harsh displacement conditions, while human rights organizations warn that the aim is to forcibly drive residents to move south, as part of a broader Israeli-American plan to expel them from the region.

Lazareeni added in a post for the organization on the "X" platform, that there is no safe place or person in Gaza City and its northern areas, where the intensity of airstrikes is increasing, forcing more Palestinians to flee towards the unknown.

Commenting on the situation in Gaza City, he said: "We were forced to halt healthcare services in the Beach Camp, the only one available north of the Gaza Valley, while our vital water and sanitation services are now operating at only half capacity."

The UN official continued: "In just the last four days, 10 UNRWA buildings in Gaza City have been targeted, calling for an immediate ceasefire."
