DOHA, Jan 23 — Six displaced Palestinians were killed when one of the UN-run shelters was hit in Khan Younis, the focus of Israel’s ground offensive, in the southern Gaza Strip, a day ago, the head of the UN aid agency for Palestinians said.
“Terrified staff, patients, and displaced people are now trapped inside the few remaining hospitals in Khan Younis as heavy fighting continues,” Philippe Lazzarine, UNRWA’s general commissioner said in a post on X today.
Lazzarine said at least six of the displaced were killed and more others were wounded in the incident.
“I call on all parties to take every precaution to minimize harm and protect civilians, medical facilities and personnel and @UN premises in accordance with international law,” he added.
