Israeli
navy opened fire again
“The
number of displaced in UNRWA schools remains higher than the number
of displaced sheltered during the peak of the hostilities from 27
December 2008 to 19 January 2009. 31 UNRWA school buildings –
every fifth building – continue to serve as collective centres,
sheltering 58,217 displaced.”
"...
UNRWA Health Centres have recorded a total of 650,518 patient
visits, including maternal health care visits, child visits, such
as for example for immunization, visits by people with
non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, and
388,156 visits to seek medical care for acute and common illnesses."
“Without
a political solution a new cycle of violence is very likely. The
Israeli blockade on Gaza needs to be lifted, and transfers to
Gaza’s traditional markets West Bank and Israel need to be allowed.
Exports remain virtually banned, with only 183 truckloads leaving the
Gaza Strip over the course of the year 2013. Palestinians need
access to traditional markets, to fishing areas and land. Freedom of
movement should be permitted.”
“To
achieve the scale of response required to deliver vital supplies to
the nearly 300,000 displaced in UNRWA shelters, as well as continue
to provide the Agency’s regular services to over 1.2 million
Palestinian refugees, including regular food aid to some 830,000
beneficiaries ...”
“UNRWA
has lost eleven personnel since 8 July. Many UNRWA staff
risked their lives by reporting to work every day during hostilities,
and the logistics team is no different.”
“At
0600hrs, the Israeli navy opened fire towards Palestinian boats
northwest of Rafah, forcing them ashore.”
