United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini called for an investigation into attacks against UN facilities, emphasizing "the need for accountability," APA reports.
His call comes following an Israeli strike that killed five Palestinians and injured another 22 people at a UNRWA food distribution center in Rafah, according to a statement from the UNRWA.
At least one UNRWA staff was among those killed, the statement said.
"Today’s attack on one of the very few remaining UNRWA distribution centres in the Gaza Strip comes as food supplies are running out, hunger is widespread and, in some areas, turning into famine," Lazzarini said.
He said the coordinates of all UNRWA facilities across the Gaza Strip are shared "with parties to the conflict."
"The Israeli Army received the coordinates including of this facility yesterday," Lazzarini said.
