Belgium is summoning the Israeli ambassador after the office building housing the Belgian Agency for Development Cooperation in Gaza was bombed and destroyed, foreign minister Hadja Lahbib has said.
‘Targeting civilian buildings is unacceptable,’ she said in a Twitter post.
Israel has repeatedly targeted residential and civilian buildings in its bombardments, claiming that Hamas shelters among civilians. More than 60% of Gaza’ housing units have now been destroyed or damaged, according to the UN, which says the amount of debris caused by Israel amounts to 8,000,000 metric tons and will take three years to clear.
