Several killed after UN development office in Gaza bombed

The office of the UN Development Programme (UNDP) in Gaza was bombed on Saturday night, the head of the UNDP said on X, formerly Twitter.

Achim Steiner said that there were reports of deaths and injuries "among those who sought safety in our compound".

"This is wrong on every count," Steiner said. "Civilians, civilian infrastructure & the inviolability of UN facilities must be always protected."

Israeli attacks have already killed more than 100 staff members working at the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa).
