The head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) called for an investigation into attacks against UN facilities, emphasizing "the need for accountability."
Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini's call follows an Israeli strike that killed five Palestinians and wounded another 22 people at a UNRWA food distribution center in Rafah, the agency said.
At least one UNRWA staff was among those killed, the agency said.
"Today’s attack on one of the very few remaining UNRWA distribution centres in the Gaza Strip comes as food supplies are running out, hunger is widespread and, in some areas, turning into famine," Lazzarini said.
He said the coordinates of all UNRWA facilities across Gaza are shared "with parties to the conflict."
"The Israeli Army received the coordinates including of this facility yesterday," Lazzarini said.
