I am deeply shocked that 2 UNRWA schools were struck in less than 24 hours in Gaza.

Dozens of people – many women & children – were killed & injured as they were seeking safety in @UN premises.

I reaffirm that our premises are inviolable.

Not in a refugee camp.

And not in a hospital.”

Shelters are a place for safety.

Schools are a place for learning.

Tragic news of the children, women and men killed while sheltering at Al Fakhouri school in northern Gaza.

Civilians cannot and should not have to bear this any longer.

Humanity needs to prevail.
