Philippe Lazzarini has said “no one is being held accountable” for deadly attacks on UN personnel, as well as the destruction of UN premises and attacks on humanitarian convoys seeking to enter Gaza.

“It is time for independent investigations + accountability,” the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on X.

Lazzarini also warned that a “disinformation war” being waged against UNRWA “puts the lives of my own colleagues in #Gaza and elsewhere at risk”.

Israeli foreign minister says inclusion on UN ‘blacklist’ will harm ties
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has also hit out against the UN, saying Secretary-General Guterres made a “shameful” decision.

Katz warned in a social media post that including Israel on a so-called “blacklist” of countries accused of committing rights abuses against children in conflict zones “will have consequences for Israel’s relations with the UN”.

Israel’s war on Gaza taking dire toll on Palestinian children
Rights groups have condemned the dire toll Israel’s bombardment and siege of Gaza has had on Palestinian children across the enclave:

More than 15,500 children have been killed, according to the Gaza government media office.
UNICEF says nine in 10 Palestinian children in Gaza are living in “severe child food poverty, surviving on diets comprising two or fewer food groups per day – one of the highest percentages ever recorded”.
The World Health Organization says more than four in five Palestinian children in Gaza “did not eat for a whole day at least once in the three days” in advance of a recent food insecurity survey.
Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCIP) says thousands of Palestinian children have been critically injured and face “a lifetime of recovery to heal from the physical and psychological trauma” of the war.

The Yemeni group’s military spokesmperson Yahya Saree says in a televised speech that the two ships, the Elbella and the AAL GENOA were targeted because they “belong to companies that violated the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Palestine”.

The Houthis have been carrying out attacks on commercial and military ships in the waters near Yemen since the early days of Israel’s war on Gaza.

“The targeting operation was carried out with a number of drones, ballistic and naval missiles, achieving precise strikes to the target”, Saree continued. rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty rty

“The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to carry out their military operations in support of and solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted”, he added.
