UNRWA: Israel bombed 8 schools in Gaza in 10 days

Gaza - Ma'an - The Commissioner of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, revealed today, Wednesday, that Israel has bombed at least 8 schools in Gaza in the past ten days, 6 of which belong to the agency. 'In an almost daily incident, at least 8 schools have been hit in the past 10 days, 6 of them UNRWA schools,' Lazzarini said in a post on the X platform. "The war has robbed girls and boys in Gaza of their childhood and education," he added. "The blatant disregard for international humanitarian law continues unabated, and all the rules of war have been violated in Gaza," Lazzarini continued. He stressed that "the loss of our humanity must not become the new norm," and renewed his call for an immediate ceasefire. The post was accompanied by photos showing the destruction of one of UNRWA's schools as a result of an Israeli bombardment targeting it, despite it being overcrowded with displaced people who had sought refuge there in search of safety.
