A school run by the United Nations in northern Gaza has been hit with apparently devastating impact, the UN confirmed Saturday, in what a top UN official described as a “horrifying” incident.
Maybe the Palestinians should get the chance to show a 45min video of their bodies in the US Congress or House.... Oh no, THAT right is only for the Israeli government.
CNN only has a single screenshot of the video, which was run on Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera did not cite a source for the video.
Also important to note this is in a neighborhood that has seen extremely heavy combat in the last 48 hours. It's doubtful full details will come out for a while, if ever.
Once you cross check confirmed data and historical trends with news, you get a better picture.
UN announced 9 days ago:
More than 100 United Nations employees have been killed since the Israel-Hamas war began in Gaza, the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) said on Friday, making it the deadliest conflict ever for the U.N. in such a short period of time.
I'd be extremely surprised if it's false. But there's a lot of combat nearby - Hamas fighters fled from Gaza City to Jabaliya and Zeitoun where they don't have a realistic escape route, and large Israeli forces who are actively engaged in combat through a dense urban area (quite literally at this very moment).
Not saying it's not tragic, but these deaths could have been prevented by civilians evacuating to the southern Strip. UNRWA hold some responsibility for offering their facilities as shelter when they know full well that their facilities have been used for military purposes in the past and are liable to be legitimate military targets as a result.
I'm still waiting on literally anyone to provide a source where Hamas admits it's side lost militants in an air strike without overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Only one side is consistently making immediate claims about civilian casualties and they also control the cited medical resources that report on it.
