United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned Israel for firing on seven UN schools during last year’s war in Gaza, killing Palestinians who had sought shelter there.
“I deplore the fact that at least 44 Palestinians were killed as a result of Israeli actions and at least 227 injured at United Nations premises being used as emergency shelters,” Ban wrote in a letter to the Security Council, summarizing the findings of an independent UN board of inquiry.
