The United States expressed its concern over an Israeli attack on a U.N. training center in Gaza’s Khan Younis, according to Deputy State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel. The attack, which occurred on Wednesday, targeted a facility housing displaced individuals. Patel reiterated Washington’s call for the protection of civilians, humanitarian workers, and aid facilities.
Patel stated, “We strongly condemn the attack on the U.N.’s Khan Younis training center,” emphasizing the gravity of the situation. The Director of UNRWA Affairs in Gaza reported that the building, which provided shelter for around 800 people in the southern Gaza Strip, was hit by two tank rounds, resulting in the death of nine Palestinians and injuring 75 others.
The United States stressed the need to safeguard civilians and respect the protected status of U.N. facilities. Patel emphasized that humanitarian workers must also be shielded to ensure the continuation of life-saving assistance to civilians.
