The Commissioner-General of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Wednesday that Israel has bombed at least eight schools in Gaza in the past ten days, six of which belong to the agency.
“An almost daily occurrence…” said Philippe Lazzarini on X. “The war robbed the girls and boys in #Gaza of their childhood and education.”
Schools, he added, must never be used for fighting or military purposes by any party to the conflict. “Schools are not a target. The blatant and constant disregard of international humanitarian law continues unabated. All rules of war have been broken in #Gaza.”
The UNRWA chief reiterated his demand for an immediate ceasefire. “Losing our common humanity must not become the new norm,” Lazzarini added.
The post was accompanied by pictures showing the destruction caused to an UNRWA school as a result of Israeli Terrorists bombing. The school was targeted despite it being crowded with displaced Palestinians who took refuge in the building.
The occupation army has targeted UNRWA schools and other facilities from the very beginning of its military offensive against the Palestinians in Gaza, in clear violation of international humanitarian laws and conventions. At least 190 UN staff have been killed by Israel since last October alone.
Israel Terrorists has reduced by 94 percent the amount of water available in Gaza, “creating a deadly health catastrophe“, an Oxfam report says.
Special rapporteur supports call for Israel’s ‘unseating’ from UN
Francesca Albanese, the UN’s special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, has added her voice to a call for Israel to be unseated from the United Nations.
Reposting an earlier call on social media for the “unseating” of Israel by the UN’s special rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, Albanese said it was “time” to remove Israel from the world body.
UN rapporteur on housing Balakrishnan Rajagopal said on Tuesday that it was “high time” to take action as Israel continued its “criminal attacks” on the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza “without any consequences”.
Israel should be unseated “from the UN, as was done with apartheid South Africa”, Rajagopal said in a post on social media.
Time to #UNseatIsrael from the UN. https://t.co/il87Umf8lP
