UN health agency chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus welcomed Egypt’s decision to accept dozens of the most critically sick and injured from the stricken Gaza Strip for treatment.
More than 820 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have been displaced amid settler violence and increased movement restrictions.
“Most of our staff are like the rest of the population, they are displaced and they are also struggling …despite that, we continue … working around the clock to make the impossible, possible,” @UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini pic.twitter.com/6CNGBzSxA4

The UN Human Rights Office noted that given the high number of civilian deaths and injuries in Gaza “and the scale of the destruction following Israeli airstrikes on Jabalia refugee camp (on Tuesday), we have serious concerns that these are disproportionate attacks that could amount to war crimes.”

The UN chief said levels of aid allowed into the stricken Gaza Strip are “completely inadequate” to meet the rising needs of civilians trapped there amidst the intensifying fighting.
I am deeply alarmed by the intensification of the conflict between Israel and Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups in Gaza.
With too many Israeli and Palestinian lives already lost, this escalation only increases the immense suffering of civilians.

Tuesday saw the entry into Gaza of 59 trucks carrying water, food and medicines.
