On Tuesday, UN aid agencies expressed their deep concerns about the scale of the ongoing operation in Jenin camp, where ten Palestinians have been killed.

In a briefing, Vanessa Huguenin, a spokesperson for the UN humanitarian office, said: “We are alarmed at the scale of air and ground operations that are taking place in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, and airstrikes hitting a densely populated refugee camp.”

She noted that three children were among those killed, without providing details.

In turn, WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier said: “First responders have been prevented from entering the refugee camp, including to reach persons who have been critically injured,”referring to restrictions put in place by Israeli forces.
