UNICEF says the incident destroyed more than $770,000 worth of its nutrition supplies, which were intended to support more than 45,000 children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a UNICEF-supported water well and desalination facility serving more than 4,000 people in Deir al Balah was severely damaged by a nearby strike on Monday. Partners are now providing water from other sources by truck.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>UN convoy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>An explosive munition detonated about 30 metres from a UN convoy returning with fuel from the Kerem Shalom crossing as it crossed the so-called \u201cYellow Line\u201d in Rafah on Thursday, OCHA reported.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there were no casualties, with the explosion causing a minor mechanical issue involving one of the vehicles in the convoy, the agency said.<\/p>\n<p>Civilians and civilian objects, including humanitarian facilities and infrastructure, must always be protected, OCHA said.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tackling unexploded ordnance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The UN and its partners are working across Gaza to address the risks posed by explosive ordnance.<\/p>\n<p>They are assessing and marking hazards, educating people on safety measures and referring those affected for support, OCHA said.<\/p>\n<p>However, the authorisation needed to bring in equipment and remove explosive ordnance still has not been granted.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Medical evacuations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The UN World Health Organization (WHO) supported the evacuation of 106 patients, including 19 children, along with 132 companions from the Gaza Strip through the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings over the last week, the agency chief said on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that since October 2023, over 13,000 patients and more than 16,000 companions have been evacuated.<\/p>\n<p>Still, thousands are awaiting medical evacuations, he said, adding that to ensure timely treatment for patients, medical evacuations require sustained access through multiple crossing routes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/feed\/view\/en\/story\/2026\/08\/1168229\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key points UN agencies concerned about deadly attacks in civilian areas Israeli strikes destroyed over $770,000&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[488,370,412,5514,190,342,6295,308],"class_list":["post-96732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-middle-east","tag-aid","tag-attacks","tag-children","tag-destroy","tag-gaza","tag-killed","tag-separate","tag-supplies"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.0 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
