Sunday, 3 August 2014
At least seven people were killed Sunday in a fresh strike on a UN school in southern Gaza which was sheltering Palestinians displaced by an Israeli military offensive, medics said. Gaza emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said another 30 people were wounded in the attack which took place in the southern city of Rafah, which straddles the border with Egypt. Separately, a spokesman for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said initial reports suggested there had been a shelling near a school housing almost 3,000 people, according to AFP.
