The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said that one of its offices in the southern Gaza Strip was damaged by an explosive projectile, impacting its ability to operate. No staff were injured in the incident. The ICRC strongly condemned the attack and called for the protection of humanitarian relief and medical personnel and facilities. The ICRC also reported that contact was lost with emergency medical technicians from the Palestine Red Crescent Society, and humanitarian workers in Gaza were killed and injured last week. The escalation of hostilities in Gaza has had significant humanitarian impacts, with civilians being killed and forced to flee without a clear sense of safety.
