The Israel he demanded of her evacuation of UN shelter in Khan Younisin the southern part of the Gaza Stripin which 12 people were killed by gunfire the day before, the UN agency for Palestine refugees (Unrwa) said today.

“The Israeli army has given a deadline of 17:00 local time” on Friday “to evacuate the shelter” where tens of thousands of Palestinians have gone to take refuge from the fighting raging between Israel and Hamas, an UNRWA spokeswoman told AFP. .

According to one of the evacuees, Amal Luband, the soldiers called an Unrwa official over the loudspeaker. “She went near tanks and was told to notify us to evacuate the area,” he added. “We don’t know where to go.”

On Wednesday, according to the UN, two tanks fired on this training center which was turned into a shelter after the war started on October 7.

“Twelve people were killed and more than 75 wounded, 12 of whom are in a critical condition” from the fire, Thomas White, Unrwa’s Gaza chief, said in a statement.

UNRWA director Philippe Lazzarini said the bombing was a “flagrant violation of the basic rules of war”. The buildings were clearly designated as UN facilities and their coordinates had been disclosed to Israeli authorities, he added.
