UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, says 12 of its premises in Gaza City, including nine schools and two health centres, were hit by direct or indirect Israeli strikes over six days earlier this month.
The attacks, detailed in its latest report on developments in Gaza and the occupied West Bank during the week beginning September 11, left at least five displaced Palestinians injured.
The report paints a bleak picture of deteriorating conditions in Gaza amid Israel’s war, with increasing attacks, displacement and malnutrition.
It noted that the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs had said about half of the nearly 250,000 displacement movements recorded since mid-August had occurred during the week in question, with growing reports of families sleeping on the streets or in makeshift tents.
About 28,000 cases of acute malnutrition among children less than five years old had been recorded in July and August, exceeding the total number of malnutrition cases in the first half of the year, the report said.
