UNRWA haven’t make yet an official statement about the bombing, but Juliette Touma, UNRWA’s director of communications, says the agency is looking into the Israeli attack on an aid distribution facility in northern Gaza City before providing more details.
The Zionist occupation have killed 193 UNRWA workers since the start of the new Israeli attacks on Gaza strip and the Occupied West Bank. Since last October 7, the number of deaths as a result of the Israeli massacre in the Gaza Strip amounted to 37,551 and the injured 85,000 911.
On the other hand the Israeli Forces have said that the facilities were no longer being used by the agency’s teams although the Army did not want to give more details about the operation, such as the number of victims or injured in its official pronouncement.
