UN agency says Israel killed 308 Palestinians sheltering in its Gaza facilities since Oct. 7
ISTANBUL (AA) – The Israeli army has killed a total of 308 Palestinians sheltering in UN facilities in Gaza since October 7, says the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
“Initial reports indicate on 25 December, 2 people sheltering in UNRWA Maghazi Prep School were killed and 1 injured, as a result of a direct strike,” the agency said in a statement.
“Since the war began, at least 308 people sheltering in UNRWA shelters have been killed,” the agency added, noting that 1,095 others have been injured.
The agency stressed that “nowhere in Gaza is safe.”
During its months of attacks on Gaza, Israel has hit hospitals, residences, and places of worship, which under the rules of war should be off-limits.
Since October 7, Israel has continued relentless attacks on the Gaza Strip, killing at least 21,507 Palestinians and injuring 55,915, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has left Gaza in ruins, with 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure damaged or destroyed and nearly 2 million residents displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicines.
