Israeli strike hits crowded shelter in Gaza right after UN aid agency ban

Massive casualties reported after building hit in northern Gaza yesterday. This follows Israeli parliamentʼs decision to stop UN refugee agency work in the area

A devastating air-strike hit a multi-story building in north Gaza yesterday where hundreds of displaced people found shelter causing many deaths and injuries (according to local medical teams)

The attack — which became the biggest hit in the region since early-fall military actions started — happened just one day after Israeli Parliament made a ground-breaking decision: blocking the work of UNRWA; the main group that brings food and help to Palestinians

The building located in a densely-packed area became a make-shift shelter for local people who couldnt find other safe places. Medical teams worked non-stop to help injured people but exact numbers werent clear due to the hard-to-reach location

This north Gaza incident comes as part of wider military actions that started about 4 weeks ago when IDF went back to the area. The timing right after the UNRWA ban raises questions about future aid delivery to people who need help in this war-affected zone
