UN Springs Into Action, Becomes Disturbed
The video was flagged as “objectionable” by YouTube, but it got the attention of the United Nations: UN ‘disturbed’ by UNRWA school incident.
The United Nations is very disturbed about an incident last month in which Gaza terrorists fired mortar shells from a UN school and will open an investigation, a UN official in Jerusalem said Friday.
The official made the comment a day after UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon condemned the militants for using the school.
Footage taken by an Israeli aircraft on October 29 and released by the IDF showed Palestinian militants firing mortars from the yard of an elementary school for boys in the north Gaza town of Beit Hanoun. The school is run by the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which oversees aid to Palestinian refugees.
“The United Nations is very disturbed about this, and wants to make sure that such incidents are not repeated. It is unacceptable that UN premises be used in this fashion,” the UN official said.
