Ceasefire not in place is a disgrace: Oxfam spokesperson

An Oxfam spokesperson has slammed the Israeli army's attack on an Unwra school, saying it is "a disgrace that a ceasefire is still not in place and that [international humanitarian law] is broken by Israel time and again with full impunity”.

“Dozens of people – including children – were slaughtered while they slept,” the spokesperson of the international NGO said. 

He added: “Civilians in Gaza must be protected and world leaders must both stop Israel from continuing this carnage and providing the political cover for them to do so."

At least 40 people were killed when Israeli forces attacked a school that was serving a shelter for disabled people in Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza this morning.
