A witness who arrived at the Kamal Adwan hospital after the attack told Al Jazeera: „We were sitting in the school, because we were told it is safe.

„By God, there was not a single fighter, not a single shot was fired from the school. Why did they shoot at the school? Why? Can someone explain that to me? Why would they shell the school?“

Thursday‘s strike is the fourth time a UN facility has been hit in the 17 days of Israeli bombardment of Gaza.
