<div class="field field-field-text"><p>A UN spokesperson said that three UN warehouses were damaged in an Israeli air strike on Sunday, with one significantly affected.<br>
<br>
In a press conference on Monday he called for greater protection for civilians in Gaza, saying: "Civilians and civilian infrastructure, including humanitarian facilities, must never be a target, and must be protected".<br>
<br>
He added that greater aid should be allowed in to prevent further malnutrition of children after Israel has failed to provide the agreed upon amount following a ceasefire with Hamas in October.</p>
