The situation in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli airstrikes have damaged the heavily populated refugee camp there, has caused UN Secretary-General António Guterres to express grave worry.
In a statement published on the UN’s official page, Guterres affirmed that all military operations must be conducted with full respect for international humanitarian law.
The airstrikes in Jenin significantly damaged living structures both in the camp and the surrounding neighborhoods. Due to damage to infrastructure, most of the Jenin camp has lost access to basic needs like drinking water and electricity.
The UN Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which runs four schools, one health center, and other facilities in the Jenin camp, stressed that many residents were in urgent need of food, drinking water, and milk powder for children.
In addition, at least two hospitals have also been affected by attacks involving the use of ammunition and gas canisters.
On its side, the World Health Organisation stated that the attacks against healthcare, which include preventing access to injured people, are deeply concerning.
