UN teams in Gaza have carried out a rapid needs assessment in two makeshift sites in Deir Al-Balah following a recent airstrike, Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said on Tuesday.
Personnel from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS) conducted the assessment earlier this week in the Yaffa and Al Somud makeshift sites, home to more than 190 families.
Several people there were reportedly injured by an airstrike on Friday and the team witnessed dozens of tents destroyed at both sites, with many others damaged.
Essential infrastructure, including water, sewage and solar power systems were affected, and three learning spaces were damaged.
