Israel Air Strike On UN School ‘Criminal’ – UN




The UN has expressed outrage after another deadly strike on one of its schools as Israel begins pulling some troops from Gaza in a widely-acknowledged step towards unilateral withdrawal.

The strike killed 10 people at a school in the southern city of Rafah on Sunday where about 3000 Palestinians made homeless by the violence had been sheltering. It was the third such incident in 10 days.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned the shelling, calling it “a moral outrage and a criminal act”.

“This madness must stop,” he said.
The strike came as Palestinian factions gathered for truce talks with Egypt in Cairo and world powers voiced increasingly urgent calls for the laying down of weapons.
