The United Nations (UN) Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) announced on Friday it relocated its headquarters in Gaza south due to the ongoing clashes between Israel and Hamas.
"UNRWA relocated its central operations centre + international staff to the south to continue its humanitarian operations and support to its staff and Palestine Refugees in #Gaza," the office posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. "We urge the Israeli Authorities to protect all civilians in @UNRWA shelters including schools."
The UNRWA stressed that the premises in question are "UN facilities" that "must be protected at all times and must never come under attack in accordance with international humanitarian law."
