Unrwa chief calls for investigation into Israeli war crimes in Gaza

The head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian Refugees has called for an investigation into Israeli crimes, citing recent violations of the ceasefire by Israel in Gaza. 

"Yesterday, four people were killed following shelling by Israeli forces of an UNRWA school-turned-shelter in Nuseirat refugee camp. More are reported injured," Unrwa commissioner general Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement.

“Since the war began, more than 800 people have been killed and nearly 2,600 injured in separate incidents affecting 300 UNRWA premises,” he said.

“I reiterate my call for independent investigations into these blatant breaches of international humanitarian law,” he added.
