AMMAN,
At least six killed and dozens injured??
From Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner–General?
?¡°At least six people were killed this afternoon when an UNRWA school was hit in al-Maghazi refugee camp, in Gaza¡¯s middle area.
¡°Dozens were injured (including UNRWA staff) and severe structural damage was caused to the school.
¡°The numbers are likely to be higher.
¡°This is outrageous,?and it again shows a flagrant disregard for the lives of civilians.?
No place is safe in Gaza anymore, not even UNRWA facilities.
¡°The school was hit during Israeli?forces?airstrikes and?bombardment on the Gaza Strip.?
¡°At least 4,000 people have taken refuge in this UNRWA school turned shelter. They had and still have nowhere else to go.
¡°Since the war began on 7 October, UNRWA provides the coordinates of its facilities to relevant parties on a daily basis.¡±
