On Thursday, the United Nations expressed its "concern" about attacks on health facilities in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

This was stated by United Nations spokesman Stephane Dujarric, in response to Anadolu’s question, in reference to the World Health Organization’s announcement of 203 attacks on health facilities in Gaza, and 224 in the West Bank, since last October 7.

During the press conference in New York, Dujarric indicated, “The World Health Organization is concerned with providing information about health facilities.”

"We expressed our concern about the aforementioned attacks. Health facilities should never be used in conflict," he added.

Dujarric said that after the conflict ends, the parties must "disclose their activities."

In response to Anatolia's question about whether the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, restricts himself in choosing terminology, due to pressure from Israel, compared to other conflicts, Dujarric replied, "The Secretary-General is confident in the terminology he uses, and he uses the expressions he wants to use."

Regarding the criticism directed at the United Nations’ statements regarding Gaza, Dujarric said, “We are subject to criticism from 360 degrees (from all sides) because of the terms we use or do not use.”

Speaking about the general situation in Gaza, he explained that despite the “humanitarian truce, there is still no improvement in water access to northern Gaza.”

He stated that "water production facilities remain closed due to fuel shortages and damage caused by the attacks."

In response to a question about the number of casualties in Gaza, which is still under debate, Dujarric stated, “The United Nations received the data from the Ministry of Health in Gaza.”

He continued, "We see that the (announced) numbers are correct."

He added, "The United Nations has followed wars and conflicts in Gaza before, and the current situation matches previous sad experiences."

Dujarric noted that the United Nations welcomes the extension of the “humanitarian truce” in Gaza, “but delivering aid remains difficult.”

He stressed that the United Nations continues to call for a ceasefire for humanitarian reasons.

In response to a question about whether the international organization is ready if Israel resumes attacks on Gaza, Dujarric said, “The United Nations will continue to work to provide humanitarian aid as it did before.”
