It said that "according to several testimonies, on 4 January "Israeli" foot soldiers evacuated approximately 110 Palestinians into a single-residence house in Zeitun, half of whom were children, warning them to stay indoors. Twenty-four hours later, "Israeli" forces shelled the home repeatedly, killing approximately 30."
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) called it "one of the gravest incidents since the beginning of operations" by "Israeli" forces in Gaza on December 27.
