Israeli forces have bombed another school-turned-shelter in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 18 people, including six staff members of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). The death of six staff members takes the number of UNRWA employees killed in Gaza to 220, which is the highest ever in United Nations history. Witnesses said Wednesday’s attack on al-Jaouni school in the Nuseirat refugee camp tore women and children to pieces, while UNRWA said the casualties among its staff amounted to the “highest death toll” in a single incident in the 11-month war. Some 12,000 displaced Palestinians, most of them women and children, were sheltering at al-Jaouni, according to UNRWA, when Israeli forces carried out two air attacks on the building. The manager of the UN-run shelter was among those killed.
