An international United Nations staffer has been killed and five others wounded in a strike on a United Nations guesthouse in the Gaza Strip, a UN official says.
Jorge Moreira da Silva, head of the UN Office for Project Services, declined to say who carried out the strike but said the explosive ordnance was “dropped or fired” and the blast was not accidental or related to de-mining activity.
He did not provide the nationalities of those killed and wounded.
The Israeli military, which has carried out a heavy wave of air strikes since early Tuesday, denied earlier reports that it had targeted the UN compound.
