Urgent | UNRWA: At least 6 killed in Israeli strike on one of our schools in Maghazi refugee camp in Gaza

عاجل | وكالة الأونروا: مقتل 6 على الأقل في ضربة إسرائيلية لمدرسة تابعة لنا في مخيم المغازي للاجئين في غزة

Published: Tuesday, October 17, 2023 - 3:19 PM | Last updated: Tuesday, October 17, 2023 - 3:19 PM The Palestinian Ministry of Interior and National Security stated that Israeli artillery targeted a school sheltering displaced people in the Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in several injuries. The Israeli massacres continue in the Gaza Strip, now in their eleventh day of aggression. The occupation army is escalating its targeting of residential buildings, leading to dozens of martyrs and wounded with each raid launched by the occupation forces. These Israeli massacres come after the occupation state suffered a significant blow on October 7, when Palestinian resistance factions carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was launched in response to the ongoing attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against the Palestinian people, their property, and their holy sites. While the occupation army says its strikes are aimed at eliminating Hamas and dismantling its military infrastructure, violent raids are raining down on residential buildings, resulting in the martyrdom of nearly three thousand people, most of them women and children.

نشر في: الثلاثاء 17 أكتوبر 2023 - 3:19 م | آخر تحديث: الثلاثاء 17 أكتوبر 2023 - 3:19 م قالت وزارة الداخلية والأمن الوطني الفلسطينية، إن مدفعية الاحتلال الإسرائيلي استهدفت مدرسة لإيواء النازحين في مخيم المغازي وسط القطاع، ووجود عدد من الإصابات. وتتواصل المجازر الإسرائيلية في قطاع غزة، ضمن العدوان الذي دخل يومه الـ11، فيما يتوسع جيش الاحتلال في استهداف البنايات السكنية ما يؤدي إلى تسجيل عشرات الشهداء والجرحى مع كل غارة تشنها قوات الاحتلال. المجازر الإسرائيلية تأتي بعدما تعرضت دولة الاحتلال لضربة قاصمة في 7 أكتوبر الجاري، عندما نفذت فصائل المقاومة الفلسطينية عملية طوفان الأقصى. وجاءت عملية طوفان الأقصى ردا على اعتداءات القوات والمستوطنين الإسرائيليين المتواصلة بحق الشعب الفلسطيني وممتلكاته ومقدساته. وفيما يقول جيش الاحتلال إن ضرباته تستهدف القضاء على حركة حماس وتفكيك بنيتها العسكرية، إلا أن الغارات العنيفة تنهال على البنايات السكنية ما أدّى إلى استشهاد قرابة الثلاثة آلاف شخص، أغلبهم من النساء والأطفال.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) reported that "at least six people were killed this afternoon when an UNRWA school in the Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip was bombed." In a statement issued Tuesday evening in Geneva, UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini confirmed that dozens of people (including UNRWA staff) were injured and the school sustained significant structural damage. The statement suggested that the death toll could be higher, describing the attack as "outrageous" and demonstrating yet another blatant disregard for civilian lives. It emphasized that there is no longer any safe place in Gaza, not even UNRWA facilities. The agency noted that the school was hit during Israeli airstrikes and shelling of the Gaza Strip, adding that 4,000 people had sought refuge there. UNRWA confirmed that since the start of the war on October 7, it has been providing the coordinates of its facilities to the relevant parties on a daily basis.

قالت وكالة غوث وتشغيل اللاجئين الفلسطينيين (أونروا)، إن "مالايقل عن ستة أشخاص قد قتلوا بعد ظهر اليوم، وذلك جراء قصف مدرسة تابعة للأونروا في مخيم المغازي للاجئين بالمنطقة الوسطى في غزة".موضوعات مقترحة وأكد المفوض العام للمنظمة فيليب لازارينى، في بيان، مساء اليوم الثلاثاء في جنيف، أن العشرات (بمن فيهم موظفو الاونروا) قد أصيبوا ولحقت أضرار هيكلية جسيمة بالمدرسة. ورجح البيان أن تكون أرقام الضحايا أعلى، واصفا ما حدث بأنه "أمر مشين" ويظهر مرة أخرى استهتارا صارخا بحياة المدنيين، وأكدت أنه لم يعد هناك مكان آمن في غزة بعد الآن ولا حتى منشآت الأونروا. ولفتت المنظمة إلى أن المدرسة تعرضت للقصف خلال الغارات الجوية والقصف الجوي الذي شنته القوات الإسرائيلية على قطاع غزة، مشيرة إلى أن 4 آلاف شخص كانوا قد لجأوا إلى المدرسة التي تحولت إلى ملجأ. وأكدت المنظمة الدولية أنه منذ بداية الحرب في 7 أكتوبر الجاري، فإنها تقوم بتوفير إحداثيات منشآتها للأطراف المعنية بشكل يومي.

AMMAN, At least six killed and dozens injured   From Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General   “At least six people were killed this afternoon when an UNRWA school was hit in al-Maghazi refugee camp, in Gaza’s middle area.  “Dozens were injured (including UNRWA staff) and severe structural damage was caused to the school.  “The numbers are likely to be higher.  “This is outrageous, and it again shows a flagrant disregard for the lives of civilians.   No place is safe in Gaza anymore, not even UNRWA facilities.  “The school was hit during Israeli forces airstrikes and bombardment on the Gaza Strip.   “At least 4,000 people have taken refuge in this UNRWA school turned shelter. They had and still have nowhere else to go.  “Since the war began on 7 October, UNRWA provides the coordinates of its facilities to relevant parties on a daily basis.”   ENDs-  UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.

UNRWA operates in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, The Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.  Tens of thousands of Palestine refugees who lost their homes and livelihoods due to the 1948 conflict continue to be displaced and in need of support, nearly 75 years on. UNRWA helps Palestine Refugees achieve their full potential in human development through quality services it provides in education, health care, relief and social services, protection, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance, and emergency assistance. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions. DONATE TO UNRWA

Israel-Gaza conflict: Deepening concern for civilians, as UN school is hit “Dozens were injured (including UNRWA staff) and severe structural damage was caused to the school", he said. "The numbers are likely to be higher. This is outrageous, and it again shows a flagrant disregard for the lives of civilians."No place is safe in Gaza anymore, he warned, stressing that it was hit as Israeli airstrikes and bombardment continues. “At least 4,000 people have taken refuge in this UNRWA school turned shelter. They had and still have nowhere else to go."School coordinates sharedHe said that the agency has provided the coordinates of its facilities to "relevant parties" on a daily basis.The UN human rights office (OHCHR) issued a fresh alert on Tuesday for civilians left in northern Gaza, amid ongoing military operations in the enclave ahead of an anticipated full-scale Israeli response to Hamas’s 7 October attack.The past 10 days of conflict have claimed the lives of 4,200 people, forced more than one million individuals to flee their homes following an order from the Israeli authorities and left large areas in the Gaza Strip “reduced to rubble”, according to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).'Utter catastrophe'In New York on Monday morning, the Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Joyce Msuya, briefed Member States on the Gaza crisis, and said the situation "can only be described as an utter catastrophe."She added that as every hour passes, the restoration of essential supplies and services, "becomes every more critical."She said the UN would continue to identify urgent solutions for getting aid into Gaza.“We have grave fears about the toll on civilians in the coming days,” said OHCHR spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani in Geneva, “with military operations showing no signs of abating, a continued siege on Gaza affecting water supply, food, medicines and other basic needs and daily indications of violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.”UN Secretary-General António Guterres will travel to the Egyptian capital Cairo, arriving on Thursday his Spokesperson announced at his daily briefing in New York, to engage with President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi on the Gaza crisis.  Secure corridorsIn southern Gaza where a humanitarian emergency is already playing out, UN relief agencies reiterated their call for a secure and reliable humanitarian corridor to deliver stockpiled aid into the Occupied Territory.Both Egypt and Israel have faced multiple calls from the UN and international community to protect non-combatants impacted by the war.“We call for unimpeded access, safe passage for desperately needed humanitarian supplies to Gaza,” said Abeer Etefa, UN World Food Programme (WFP) Regional Communications Lead for the Middle East and North Africa. Some 300 tonnes of food “are either at or on the way to the Egyptian border in Rafah”, said Ms. Etefa. “That's enough to feed around a quarter million people for one week."According to OHCHR, “a large number” of women and children are among the dead in Gaza, as well as at least 11 Palestinian journalists, 28 medical staff and 14 UN colleagues.Tombs of rubble“It remains unclear how many more bodies may be buried in the rubble – with many families missing loved ones, terrified about their uncertain fate,” Ms. Shamdasani said, speaking in Geneva.Echoing urgent warnings from the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA about the desperate situation in Gaza amid heavy Israeli bombardments, from the air, sea and land, humanitarians echoed deep concern that healthcare facilities had been targeted - raising concerns about medical care for the injured, including pregnant women and those with chronic health issues.Additionally, civilians attempting to relocate to southern Gaza have been struck and killed by explosive weapons, demanding urgent and independent investigation, OHCHR says.The world body has called for an immediate humanitarian pause to facilitate aid delivery and prevent further suffering.Strict compliance with the laws of war and the protection of civilians is essential to prevent further loss of life in this dire crisis, Ms Shamdasani said.
