UNITED NATIONS, Jan 6 (KUNA) -- John Ging, the director of operations in
Gaza for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near
East (UNRWA) on Tuesday said Palestinian militants have not violated the
sanctity of UN facilities in Gaza.
"The militants have not violated the sanctity of UN facilities and it would
be unacceptable for them to do so, Ging told a press conference via video link.
He said the UNRWA school in Jabaliya Camp was being used as a shelter, when
three artillery shells landed there. The latest casualty figures, he noted,
were for some 30 deaths, as well as 55 injured.
In addition, he added, there was an earlier missile strike on a school in
Gaza City, where three men were killed.
Also in Bureij camp, a house was targeted earlier in the day near a UN
health centre, and 10 people in the health centre were injured in collateral
damage.
Ging said the UN has provided GPS coordinates to Israel about all UN
locations, including schools, and have updated them recently. (end)
