We spoke to Sam Rose, who's the director of planning at the UN's agency for Palestinians - UNRWA.
He heard the strike from around two miles away in Al-Mawasi, where he’s helping coordinate the humanitarian effort.This instance is is particularly sickening given the images, but also given the circumstances and the fact that so many women and children were killed, suffering horrific burns, but also being killed through shrapnel wounds. It feels like we plumb new depths almost every day with what we see. But really, really heartbreaking, really sickening.
A camp of civilians, a camp of largely women and children who’ve been forced to flee to these areas anyway, been assured that these areas were part of a safe humanitarian zone and coming so close to the ruling from the International Court of Justice, the highest judicial body in the UN, calling for a halt to the conflict. This is what we’ve seen.: Israel also says it did kill Hamas leaders in this attack.
