Gazans are now BOTH refugees and an internally displaced persons: Chris Gunness who is the UNRWA Spokesperson breaks down in tears after an interview with Al Jazeera. Chris Gunness has been very active on his Twitter account, updating us with all of whats going on in Gaza, especially at the UN schools UNRWA has been using as shelters. Israel has attacked UNRWA schools on 3 occasions during Operation Protective Edge so far, killing families seeking refuge in addition to UN volunteers and teachers. What is most alarming is that Gunness has also mentioned is that UNRWA has directly given the Israeli army the correct coordinates of those shelters and has urged them to notify them well in advance before targeting them- Israel has not agreed on the latter. According to Gunness, there are 86 shelters housing a total of 219,657 people with each having about 2,500 in them. Horrific conditions. Attacking UN schools used as shelters in Gaza is not a first; in Operation Cast Lead in 2009, Israel attacked a UN school housing displaced Palestinians with white phosphorus.
