The Commissioner-General of UNRWA has expressed deep dismay and concern at the heavy casualties and loss of life, and at the occupation of an UNRWA school by Israeli forces. He also expressed his deep concern for the safety of the population in the two camps which have been under heavy fire through much of the day. UNRWA medical staff and ambulances have been active in treating and evacuating the wounded. The Commissioner-General stressed the obligation of the Israeli authorities, in accordance with international law, to ensure the security and safety of UN staff and installations.<\/p><\/div>\n
