The order from Israeli authorities for Palestinians to leave for the south, many people including pregnant women, children, the elderly and those with disabilities will not be able to flee the area
The UN relief agency operating in Gaza has said its shelters in the northern part of the territory “are not safe anymore” – calling it “unprecedented”.
“This war should be no exception,” UNRWA said in a statement. “Protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure including UN buildings applies to this conflict too.”
It said that despite the order from Israeli authorities for Palestinians to leave for the south, many people including pregnant women, children, the elderly and those with disabilities will not be able to flee the area.
“Wars have rules,” UNRWA said. “Civilians, hospitals, schools, clinics and UN premises cannot be a target.”
