Israeli assault in north Gaza forcing UN to 'shut down lifesaving services'

The intensified Israeli military assault in the northern Gaza Strip is forcing Unrwa to shut down lifesaving services, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has said. 

At least seven UN-run schools used as shelters for displaced people are being evacuated.

In the Jabalia refugee camp, which is being heavily attacked and tightly besiged by Israeli forces, only two out of eight water wells are currently operational, Unrwa said.
