以色列砲火15日在加薩地帶摧毀聯合國的相關建設，讓上百噸的食物以及醫藥物資付諸戰火，而且火勢一直延燒到隔天仍未止息。
聯合國近東巴勒斯坦難民救濟工作署（UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, UNRWA）總監金（John Ging）表示，根據報導加薩地帶受到了「大規模的毀滅和破壞」。
金從加薩透過影片連線方式向紐約的記者發表談話，他說：「在加薩他每天都必須聽取有關死亡人數以及破壞程度的簡報。」
以色列表示，此次的攻擊行動是對聯合國近東巴勒斯坦難民救濟工作署總部附近的哈瑪斯（Hamas）戰火做出回應。金則強調加薩地帶沒有激進份子，也不會開火，他要求必須對這整起事件進行獨立的調查。
金表示聯合國近東巴勒斯坦難民救濟工作署援助了約75萬名在加薩的巴勒斯坦難民，約是該地區人口的一半，而且現在正在興建可供代用的相關建設，即將可以啟用並開始運作。
根據加薩衛生部的數據指出，自從以色列在12月27日展開攻擊行動開始，死亡人數已經達到1115人，其中包括370名孩童；並且有5150人受傷，其中包括1745名孩童。而聯合國也表示這個資料是可信的。
根據聯合國的資料顯示，另外也有三名以色列市民以及數十名以色列人受傷。
總部位於日內瓦的紅十字會與紅新月會國際聯合會（IFRC）指出，「有數以千計的加薩民眾現在正迫切需要醫療照顧，但是這幾乎是不可能實現的，因為不斷的攻擊行動和大規模的障礙將阻礙人道救援進入該地區對民眾進行援助。」
紅十字會與紅新月會國際聯合會表示，基於國際人道法以及普世通行的人道原則與價值，這種情況是完全且絕對不可接受的。
國際救援組織也譴責此次攻擊行動造成巴勒斯坦紅月協會阿庫茲醫院（Al Quds hospital）和行政大樓的破壞，醫院二樓直接受到攻擊並且造成藥房大火，此外醫院有很多部門都受到嚴重的傷害。
Israeli shells destroyed the United Nations warehouse in its main Gaza compound yesterday, sending hundreds of tons of food and medicine up in flames. The fire continues to burn today.
"Massive devastation and destruction" was reported in the area of the compound, said John Ging, who heads the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, UNRWA.
Ging spoke to journalists in New York by video link from Gaza from where he has been giving daily briefings on the death and destruction.
Israel said it was responding to Hamas fire from the vicinity of the UNRWA headquarters. Ging stressed that there were no militants in or firing from the compound, calling for an independent investigation.
Ging said UNRWA, which aids 750,000 Palestinian refugees in Gaza, about half the population, is establishing alternative warehouses and is "up and running again."
Since the Israeli offensive began on December 27, the death toll has reached 1,115 dead, including 370 children, with 5,150 wounded, 1,745 of them children, according to Gazan health ministry figures, which UN officials call credible.
Three Israeli civilians have died, and dozens been injured, according to the United Nations.
Thousands of people in Gaza are in urgent need of medical attention which is next to impossible to deliver due to the ongoing hostilities and the massive obstacles preventing humanitarian access to the civilian population, says the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies from its headquarters in Geneva.
The IFRC describes the situation as "completely and utterly unacceptable based on every known standard of international humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles and values."
The international aid agency condemned the destruction caused to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society's Al Quds hospital and administrative buildings. The second floor of the hospital has suffered a direct hit, causing fires in the pharmacy and severe damage in many parts of the hospital.
