The Israeli occupation army bombed a UN building in Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza Wednesday, and killing 19 people, nine of them children.
The Israeli army separately confirmed to AFP that the building housed a UN clinic.
Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal said there were also dozens of people wounded in the strike, which “targeted an UNRWA building housing a medical clinic”.
The Palestinian foreign ministry condemned the “massacre at the UNRWA clinic in Jabalia”, calling for “serious international pressure” to halt Israel’s widening offensive.
The Islamic Jihad resistance group called the bombing a “blatant war crime”.
Israel has, on several occasions, conducted strikes on UNRWA buildings housing displaced Palestinians in Gaza, over the past 18 months of its genocidal war on the Palestinian territory.
A strike on the United Nations-run Al-Jawni school in central Gaza on September 11 drew international outcry after UNRWA said six of its staff were among the 18 people reported killed.
Israel resumed major air strikes on the Palestinian territory on March 18 after it broke down talks on the next steps in a six-week truce.
It also conducted air strikes on southern and central Gaza on Wednesday that killed at least 15 people, including children, in the city of Khan Yunis and the Nuseirat refugee camp.
Since then, at least 1,042 people have been killed in Gaza.
In total, Israel has killed 50,399 Palestinians, mostly children and women, since the start of the war in October 2023, according to the Palestinians’ ministry’s figures, which the United Nations views as reliable.
