Humanitarian teams in the\u00a0Gaza Strip\u00a0are assessing the needs of those affected by yesterday\u2019s airstrike on Al\u00a0Muwasi\u00a0area of Khan Younis.<\/p>\n
In addition to the killing of a mother and her baby girl, initial information suggests that more than 150 families have\u00a0had\u00a0their tents destroyed. The tents of 250 other families were\u00a0also\u00a0damaged.<\/p>\n
Survivors have told humanitarian partners that Israeli authorities had warned them of an imminent attack.<\/p>\n
The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and its partners will support the newly displaced or affected through a rapid joint distribution mechanism.<\/p>\n
More generally, safety and security colleagues say that most military activity \u2013 including airstrikes, naval fire, and shooting \u2013 occurred west of the so-called \u201cYellow Line\u201d in the 24 hours ending on 8 a.m. today, local time. They add that\u00a0civilian casualties were reported in several of\u00a0those attacks.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, humanitarian partners leading on health are warning of a rise in chickenpox cases across Gaza.\u00a0In just two weeks, they recorded nearly 9,300 reported cases across more than 130 health facilities.\u00a0Over half of these cases were in Khan Younis. Partners link this surge to the deteriorating environmental conditions, overcrowding,\u00a0and sanitation\u00a0and hygiene gaps.<\/p>\n
The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and its partners are sending antihistamines, antibiotics, fever relievers and other essential medicines. Partners are also scaling up water trucking to displacement sites, intensifying chlorination and enhancing latrine clearing and disinfection. One hundred health promoters are being deployed in prioritized locations to educate people on isolation practices and how to seek early medical support.<\/p>\n
But partners warn that this response\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0enough. To expand treatment\u00a0coverage\u00a0they need more resources, more hygiene kits, unimpeded access to affected areas, and sustained funding.<\/p>\n
In the West Bank,\u00a0yesterday, Israeli forces killed a 15-year-old child during a search operation in Ramallah. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ\u00a0saw reports that Israeli forces are now looking into that incident.<\/p>\n
A reminder that in law enforcement, lethal force can only be used as a last resort.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile,\u00a0Israeli forces today\u00a0entered\u00a0Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA\u2019s\u00a0oldest vocational training\u00a0facility \u2013 the Kalandia Training Centre \u2013 in East Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA reports that\u00a0Israeli\u00a0forces took pictures of the premises and\u00a0announced\u00a0that the\u00a0centre\u00a0had to close, although no\u00a0documents were handed over.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0centre\u00a0serves hundreds of students from\u202frefugee\u202fcamps across the West Bank,\u00a0including many who face\u00a0difficult\u202fsocio-economic conditions\u00a0and\u00a0benefit from free education services\u00a0at the facility.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s raid breached\u00a0the inviolability of\u00a0Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ\u00a0premises and\u00a0violated\u00a0Israel\u2019s\u00a0obligations concerning the privileges and immunities of the\u00a0Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ.\u00a0Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA is an integral part of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and\u00a0of\u00a0the humanitarian community and operates\u00a0under a clear\u00a0mandate from the General Assembly.\u00a0Such actions obstruct our joint efforts to provide humanitarian support to people in need.<\/p>\n
