The Gaza headquarters of the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, in Gaza City has been “flattened and turned into a battlefield,” said chief Philippe Lazzarini, as Israel’s latest ground campaign in the city continues to rage.

UNRWA headquarters in Gaza, turned into a battlefield and is now flattened in another episode of the blatant disregard of international humanitarian law, Lazzarini said on X.

He further stressed that United Nations facilities must be protected at all times and must never be used for military or fighting purposes.

The health ministry in Gaza said on Monday that the Israeli occupation army committed 3 massacres in the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, killing at least 80 citizens and injuring 216 others.

The Ministry added that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression, which started on October 7 last year, climbed to 38,664 martyrs and the number of wounded surged to 89,097 people.
