NBCNews: The Red Crescent charity told The Associated Press the latest deadly attack in the southern town of Rafah came as people were in line to get food from aid workers. The school was sheltering more than 3,000 people displaced from their homes.
An earlier statement released by the State Department noted that the school had been designated a protected location. “The coordinates of the school, like all UN facilities in Gaza, have been repeatedly communicated to the Israel Defense Forces,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Sunday. “The suspicion that militants are operating nearby does not justify strikes that put at risk the lives of so many innocent civilians.” More on this here.
