Israel's parliament is scheduled to vote Monday on a pair of bills that would effectively sever ties with the UN agency responsible for distributing aid in Gaza, strip it of legal immunities and restrict its ability to support Palestinians in east Jerusalem and the West Bank.

The ministry said more than 101,000 have been wounded in the war.
