UN: Six UNRWA workers killed by Israeli attack in Gaza

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, has said that six of its staff have been killed by an Israeli airstrike on one of the schools it runs in central Gaza.

Gaza Civil Defense spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said 18 people were killed Wednesday in the attack on the al-Jaouni school in the Nuseirat refugee camp, which is being used as a shelter for thousands of displaced Palestinians. The Israeli military says it carried out a "precision strike against terrorists" who were planning attacks from the school, and that it had taken measures to avoid harming civilians.

The Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, said that this attack constitutes a "dramatic violation of international humanitarian law". Hamas - which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union - denies using schools and civilian areas for military purposes.

Israel launched the war in Gaza in retaliation for Hamas attacks on Israeli soil on October 7, in which the militants killed 1,200 people and took 240 hostages. As a result of Israel's ground and air military campaign, more than 41,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in Gaza, according to Palestinian health authorities./ REL
