A school in Gaza which was sheltering 1500 people has been hit by Israeli fire, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
The organisation says it is the third time that a school has been hit by Israeli weapons.
UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness said that a Girl’s School in Deir Al Balah, central Gaza was hit at 7.45am this morning and five people were injured. He said:"This is the second time in three days that an UNRWA school has taken a direct hit from Israeli shelling and we again condemn this in the strongest possible terms."
The UNRWA said that the Maghazi Preparatory Girls School in Central Gaza took a direct hit injuring one girl on Monday. When UNRWA went to investigate, the area came under fire again "endangering the life of UNRWA staff members".
He said:"They were inside investigating, during a “coordinated window” in which the Israeli Army said the UN could move freely in a marked vehicle"
"We call on all sides to respect their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect civilians and refrain from any action that endangers the lives of humanitarian workers."........"
