Unrwa teams visit destroyed Gaza headquarters

Philippe Lazzarini, head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa), has posted photos on X showing the aftermath of a visit to the agency’s headquarters in Gaza City. A week ago, Unrwa announced that its headquarters had been “flattened and turned into a battlefield”.

The photos depict the wreckage of the compound, with the clearly identifiable UN logos on the exterior.

“This used to be home to our central offices and one of the largest UN compounds in the region. This is one of hundreds of UN buildings destroyed in this war,” Lazzarini wrote.

He added that those responsible for the destruction must be identified and brought to justice.

“Whether it’s Palestinian armed groups, including Hamas, or the Israeli Forces, those responsible must be held accountable for another blatant disregard of international humanitarian law.
