UNHCR’s Middle East and North Africa (MENA) spokesperson, Rula Amin, said the Agency is aware of the reports and is looking into it but cannot yet confirm.
“In this somber moment, it’s hard to wish those celebrating ‘Merry Christmas’, with ongoing loss, grief and destruction,” the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) said in a statement.
“UNHCR calls for calm and restraint and on all parties to refrain from taking any steps that could aggravate the situation further,” spokesperson, William Spindler, told a UN news conference.
