His remarks marked the first time the UN has officially blamed Israel for the attack.<br \/>\nThe incident occurred a day after Israel broke a ceasefire with Hamas, reigniting intense fighting in the Palestinian enclave. Israel had denied responsibility, claiming it targeted a Hamas site, but the UN is now demanding \u201ca full, thorough, and independent investigation\u201d into the assault.<br \/>\nDujarric also announced that due to escalating violence, the UN would withdraw about 30% of its international staff from Gaza. The decision, made by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, comes as security risks mount and humanitarian operations become increasingly difficult.<br \/>\nDespite the withdrawal, the UN will continue aid efforts through its 13,000 mostly Palestinian staff, hundreds of whom have been killed since the conflict began on October 7, 2023.<br \/>\nThe war has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians and wounded over 113,000, according to Gaza\u2019s health ministry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel claims it was targeting Hamas as it attacked a clearly marked facility in Deir el-Balah Gaza The United Nations has confirmed that an Israeli tank was responsible for an attack on its compound in central Gaza, which killed a Bulgarian UN staff member and severely injured six others.
