The United Nations has announced plans to launch an inquiry to investigate agency workers who were killed and damage to its facilities after the conflict in the Gaza Strip ends.

Spokesman to the Secretary General of the UN, Stephane Dujarric told reporters that “After the conflict, there will need to be a board of inquiry from the UN to look at the loss of property and the loss of UN lives. But those things can only happen after the conflict is ended.”

His comments came barely 24 hours after the head of the UN agency for Palestine, Philippe Lazzarini said he saw videos of an agency’s school blown up in northern Gaza.

Lazzarini condemned the attacks on UN installations adding that all public facilities, including hospitals and UN schools, are protected under international law.

In reprisals for a cross-border raid by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Oct. 7, Israel has launched destructive attacks on Gaza from the air and land, imposed a siege, and opened a violent ground offensive.

Authorities in Gaza said 18,608 Palestinians have since been killed and 50,594 injured in the Israeli military campaigns.

According to official figures, the official Israeli death toll in the Hamas attack stands at 1,200, while around several others remain in captivity.
