New York (IINA) – At least 44 Palestinians were killed and 227 injured by Israeli attacks on seven UN facilities during last summer’s offensive on the Gaza Strip, said a report issued on Monday by the UN Board of Inquiry into incidents in Gaza.
In a letter transmitting to the Security Council the public summary of a report of the Board of Inquiry regarding incidents in Gaza during the recent conflict, UN chief Ban Ki-moon expressed his "profound and continuing concern” over targeting civilian populations of the Gaza Strip and Israel.
“The agony of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, and the tragic, decades-long predicament they endure there, is reflected in the report of the Board of Inquiry,” Ban said in the letter.
The report also said that three incidents involving weapons found in UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) schools, including instances in which Palestinian armed groups “may have used” UNRWA school premises to launch attacks.
Reports of Israeli assaults against UN schools providing shelter to thousands of displaced Palestinians prompted the UN chief last November to set up a commission to analyze specific incidents in which civilians were killed and damage done to premises.
