In the statement made by UNRWA, “Yesterday, a guesthouse belonging to UNRWA in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, was severely damaged as a result of the attack of the Israeli Navy. UN international personnel in Rafah had left the building 90 minutes before the attack. The guesthouse was heavily damaged. “Despite the sightings, no casualties were reported among the personnel,” it said.
“THE ATTACK IS PROOF THAT GAZA IS NOT A SAFE PLACE”
UNRWA Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini, in his statement regarding the attack, said, “This latest attack is another indication that no place in Gaza is safe. Neither the north, nor the central regions, nor the south. Including UN facilities, hospitals, schools, shelters and places of worship.” “Disregarding the protection of civilian infrastructure is a testament to the horror that civilians in Gaza experience every day,” he said.
