Unrwa condemns Israeli attack on school-turned-shelter in southern Gaza

Louise Wateridge, spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa), has strongly condemned the Israeli bombing of a school-turned-shelter in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

“Each day brings a new level of horror,” Wateridge said, reflecting on the relentless violence faced by displaced Palestinians.

A 17-year-old girl, one of the survivors of the strike, sustained severe shrapnel injuries and lost her mother in the attack.

“It just feels very hopeless… the same tragic stories keep emerging,” Wateridge continued. “Families are being displaced repeatedly, and countless lives are being torn apart.”
