The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said that “an interagency plan is being developed to respond” to the situation of unaccompanied children and separated families evacuating from northern Gaza to the south. Israeli forces have also arrested people moving through the Salah al-Din road “corridor.” The UN group said that “one man interviewed by OCHA reported that his wife had been detained and forced to hand over their baby to him. The monitoring team has documented a few similar cases over the past few weeks, including instances where a mother was ordered to leave her baby with strangers.”
