“Enough is enough,” United Nations declared, after the new attack of Israel on UN school in Gaza that sheltered Palestinian asking where civilians should go when Israel warns them to leave their homes.

Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said that “all available evidence” suggested that Israeli artillery had hit a United Nations school in Gaza full of civilians who thought they were in a safe zone.
“”Nothing is more shameful than attacking sleeping children. I condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms. It is outrageous. It is unjustifiable.

United Nations deputy secretary general, Jan Eliasson highlighted that there is no safe place left for 1.8 million residents of Gaza Strip, amid the conflict between Israeli army and Hamas during which more than 1,200 Palestinians were killed.
