Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), stressed today, Wednesday, that Gaza is witnessing an “unprecedented catastrophe,” and said that “the world seems to have lost its humanity.”
Lazzarini indicated in a statement carried by the Arab World News Agency that an UNRWA school housing 4,000 displaced people was bombed yesterday, killing at least 6 people and wounding dozens. He added that “horrific images” are still coming from Al-Maamdani Hospital in Gaza.
He pointed out that thousands of civilians were killed during the past 12 days. Including women and children.
Last night, an Israeli bombing on Al-Maamdani Hospital in Gaza, crowded with wounded and displaced people, caused the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians.
Palestinian television said that 500 people were killed in the Israeli bombing that targeted the hospital, which is one of the oldest hospitals in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Information Center said that another 600 people were injured in the bombing.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that more than 3,200 people had been killed and 11,000 injured. Most of them are children and women, since the start of the war on the Gaza Strip.
