The State of Qatar confirmed, on Sunday, that Israel's bombing of a school affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) that shelters displaced persons in Gaza City is an extension of the policies of targeting civilians and a violation of the principles of international law.

The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned, in a statement, of the serious repercussions of the Israeli occupation's attempts to "obstruct" UNRWA's activities.

She said: "Qatar strongly condemns the Israeli occupation's bombing of a UNRWA school, which shelters displaced people in the Al-Shati refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, which led to the deaths and injuries of people."

She stressed that she "considers it an extension of the occupation's policies based on targeting unarmed civilians and civilian objects, and a blatant violation of the principles of international law and international humanitarian law."
