Twenty-three years ago, on this day, we remember the 9/11 terrorist attacks that struck the city. The Secretary-General said that today his thoughts are with everyone who lost their loved ones on 9/11, and with all the people of New York City and also all of our colleagues here who also lost loved ones. In a social media post, Mr. Guterres said that New York City has hosted the United Nations for decades and is the place many of our colleagues call home, and so does he. On this day, the United Nations underscores its commitment to never forget the nearly 3,000 people from over 90 different countries whose lives were taken on that day, and the thousands more who were injured or sickened. Occupied Palestinian Territory Earlier this afternoon, local time in Gaza, an Israeli air strike hit an UNRWA school being used as a shelter, the New Nuseirat school in Gaza. The site had been previously deconflicted with Israeli forces. This is the fifth strike on the same location in the past 11 months. We are trying to confirm reports that some UNRWA staff members were killed in the attack. Meanwhile, the polio vaccination campaign in northern Gaza is continuing. The World Health Organization tells us that as of yesterday, more than 81,600 children under ten [in the north] had been vaccinated. This is according to preliminary data they are reporting. This brings the total number of children reached across Gaza to nearly 528,000, as of yesterday. We’ll share updated figures as soon as we get them. More than 230 teams are on the ground trying to reach all children under the age of 10 with the first batch of the polio vaccination. As you will recall, they will need to do this again in four weeks. Our colleagues from the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warn that Gaza’s health-care system remains in dire condition, with our partners reporting that half of all essential medicines are not available in the Gaza Strip. Primary health centres are facing critically low levels of insulin. Routine vaccination to protect infants from tuberculosis, as well as diphteria, tetanus and pertussis, are also nearly exhausted. In the West Bank, OCHA reports that the United Nations and our partners continue to support Palestinian civilians affected by the 10-day Israeli security operation in Jenin and Tulkarm, as well as adjacent refugee camps. The support includes the delivery of food and water, with OCHA coordinating efforts to provide additional assistance. Over the weekend, OCHA – along with UNRWA and other humanitarian partners – began assessing the needs of Palestinians impacted by the operation. OCHA reports that more than 620 people – over a third of them children – remain displaced. As of Sunday, 2,400 housing units have been damaged, with more than 100 rendered uninhabitable. In the Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, more than 2.6 kilometres of water and sewage networks were bulldozed during the operation, severely hindering the delivery of essential services. OCHA reports that more than 33,000 residents have been coping with water cuts and sewage flooding over the past two weeks. In the Kafr Dan, in the Jenin Refugee Camp, and in eastern Jenin, about 70 per cent of the city’s roads and underlying water and sewage networks were bulldozed during the operation – cutting drinking water for about 35,000 residents of those areas and creating sewage flooding problems. Also, in a statement issued late yesterday, the Secretary-General strongly condemned the Israeli air strikes that took place in a densely populated area designated as a safe zone by the Israeli security forces in Khan Younis and the killing of civilians, including women and children. The use of heavy weapons in densely populated areas is unconscionable, the Secretary-General said. You had that statement yesterday.
