The Palestine based rights group, Al-Haq, have issued a statement saying that as Israeli air strikes intensify “there is no longer a safe place to take refuge, not even the coordinated shelters, as many have been bombed.”
The organisation’s field researchers are facing extreme difficulties moving around Gaza to document the violations, due to the high intensity of Israeli shelling resulting in massive destruction to the roads network, they said.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has also reported direct and collateral damage to at least 21 of its facilities, including schools sheltering displaced civilians.
