ANOTHER ISRAELI ATTACK ON PALESTINIANS RECEIVING UN AID - Several Killed By Israeli Shelling On UNRWA Aid Facility In Rafah

The attack comes one day after Israeli forces opened fire at Palestinians waiting for food aid in north Gaza

At least five Palestinians were killed on 13 March by Israeli army shelling on a humanitarian aid distribution center in the Gaza Strip’s southernmost city of Rafah.

“We can confirm that an UNRWA warehouse/distribution center in Rafah has been hit,” UNRWA spokeswoman Juliette Touma said, adding that there are “scores injured.”

The Gaza Strip’s Health Ministry reported that the bombing of a warehouse killed at least five people.
Videos on social media showed what looked like both dead and wounded being carried.

BBC: UNRWA Says Rafah Aid Centre hit by Israeli Forces

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees says a member of staff was killed and 22 others were injured when Israeli forces hit a food distribution centre in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.

UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said attacks on its facilities had "become commonplace in blatant disregard to international humanitarian law".

The Hamas-run health ministry said an Israeli air strike killed five people.

The Israeli military said it killed a Hamas commander in a "precise strike".

It identified him as Mohammed Abu Hasna and alleged that he had been a "combat support operative" in Hamas's military wing in the Rafah area.

A man with that name was on a list of five fatalities given by health officials.

NYT: Mr. Lazzarini said that UNRWA shared the coordinates of all of its facilities in Gaza on a daily basis with the “parties to the conflict,” and that the Israeli military had received the coordinates of the food distribution center on Tuesday, a day before it was hit.

Richard Medhurst: The UN gives its location to warring parties so they don't bomb them.

What do Israel do today? Bomb an UNRWA distribution center, killing 1 UN worker and injuring 22 civilians.

(Gotta make sure to starve as many Palestinians as possible so you can steal their land later!)
