GAZA, Shawwal 7, 1435, Aug 3, 2014, SPA -- U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called an Israeli attack Sunday near a U.N. school in Gaza a "moral outrage and a criminal act." UPI reported. At least 10 people died and 35 others were injured after a missile attack near the school, which was being used as a shelter, Palestinian officials said. The school was housing nearly 3,000 internally displaced people in Rafah in southern Gaza. Ban issued a statement Sunday "strongly" condemning the attack. "The attack is yet another gross violation of international humanitarian law, which clearly requires protection by both parties of Palestinian civilians, U.N. staff and U.N. premises, among other civilian facilities," he said. "United Nations shelters must be safe zones not combat zones," the statement continued. --SPA 23:36 LOCAL TIME 20:36 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
