UNRWA: Israel bombed 8 schools in Gaza in the past ten days

The Commissioner of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Felipe Lazzarini, revealed today, Wednesday, that Israel bombed at least 8 schools in Gaza in the past ten days, 6 of which belong to the agency.


Lazzarini said in a post on the “X” platform, “In an almost daily incident, at least 8 schools have been bombed in the past ten days, 6 of which belong to UNRWA.”


He added, "The war robbed girls and boys in Gaza of their childhood and education."


Lazzarini continued, "The blatant disregard for international humanitarian law continues unabated, and all the rules of war have been violated in Gaza."


He stressed that "the loss of our humanity must not become the new norm," and renewed his demand for an immediate ceasefire.


The post was accompanied by pictures showing the destruction caused to an UNRWA school as a result of an Israeli bombing that targeted it, despite it being crowded with displaced people who took refuge there in search of safety.
