Palestinians inspect the damage in the aftermath of Israeli strikes, in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip October 10, 2023.
Israeli media said 900 people were killed in the attacks and most were civilians, while nearly 700 Gazans were killed in Israeli strikes, according to Gaza officials, with entire districts in Gaza flattened.
Such acts may amount to a war crime, U.N. Human Rights spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani later clarified.
"UNICEF is extremely alarmed about measures to cut electricity, to cut food, to cut water to cut fuel from entering Gaza.
It was working on a humanitarian corridor for the Gaza strip, but stores of medical supplies had already run out, he said.
