Video clips documented the Israeli occupation bombing of a school belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) with phosphorus bombs and artillery shells, in the Beach Camp in Gaza City, Thursday, November 2, 2023.
The video showed bombs emitting thick smoke being thrown into the yard of the agency’s school, where a number of displaced people are sheltering due to the intense Israeli raids.
In turn, the local "Al-Aqsa" channel said, "The occupation aircraft targeted an agency school in the Shati camp with white phosphorus, which is internationally banned."
A state of panic prevailed among thousands of displaced Palestinians from the northern regions of the Gaza Strip, the moment the school was targeted with phosphorus bombs, while some of them were wearing masks.
Israeli occupation aircraft have launched continuous intensive raids on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in thousands of martyrs and wounded, and the destruction of entire residential neighborhoods above the heads of their residents.
UNRWA spokesman Adnan Abu Hasna told the Jordanian website Roya that the agency's schools in the Gaza Strip host about 674,000 displaced people, in addition to half a million others in government schools, hospital corridors and churches.
Abu Hasna added that the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is catastrophic and constantly deteriorating, stressing that UNRWA is the main supplier of fuel in the Strip.
The spokesman pointed out that fuel, as well as other sanitary, medical and food supplies, in addition to water, were beginning to run out, stressing that UNRWA's running out of fuel would lead to a further collapse of the situation.
