The United Nations says it has had to temporarily suspend its aid operation in the Gaza Strip because of Israeli military evacuation orders in the centre of the Palestinian territory.
A senior official told the BBC that its humanitarian staff had been unable to operate on Monday because of safety concerns.
Israeli evacuation orders covering the central town of Deir al-Balah, where the UN has its main command centre, had forced staff to relocate quickly and leave equipment behind, they said.
However, the official stressed that UN agencies would not be leaving Gaza and were now trying to find somewhere to operate safely.
