A deadly attack on a school in the city of Rafah in the south of Gaza has been denounced as a "moral outrage" and "criminal act" by the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon.
At least 10 people were killed and dozens more wounded after a projectile struck a street outside the school gates on Sunday morning.
The school was sheltering more than 3,000 people displaced by fighting in the area. It has been the scene of heavy bombardment by the Israeli military and fierce clashes following the suspected capture by Hamas fighters of an Israeli soldier, later declared killed in action.
In a statement, Ban called on those responsible for the "gross violation of international humanitarian law" to be held accountable. He said the "Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have been repeatedly informed of the location of these sites."
At the time of the strike – about 10.50am local time – dozens of children and adults were clustered around the gates buying biscuits and sweets from stalls set up by locals.
The missile struck the ground eight to 10 metres from the open gates. Witnesses at the scene less than an hour after the explosion claimed it had been fired from one of the many unmanned Israeli drones in the air above Rafah.
United Nations officials in Gaza described a "shelling incident" or an air strike.
It was impossible to determine the exact provenance of the projectile, but it was the third time in 10 days that a UN school had been hit. Earlier this week, Israeli tank shells lstruck a school in the northern town of Jabaliya, killing 16 in an attack denounced by the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, as "reprehensible".
In all, seven UN schools have been attacked during the conflict.

Seven schools? I think the worst thing about mass-slaughtering innocent children is trying to blame it on someone else, as the Israelis constantly do. The lies and propaganda tactics being used by the Israelis are like something out of a cartoon.
Watch this thread get deleted because of the dire offence I cause to Jews by printing the facts, and for making clear that child-killing is unacceptable. They just simply do not care, because they are given a free pass for any and every crime ever invented by man courtesy of the US government. The Israelis are for the most part trolls, who force a reaction from the person they're harassing and, when they get one, fall to the floor like an Italian footballer.
As far as I am concerned they are an abused people who have grown into utter monsters as many abused children do. Victims of Nazis who have themselves grown into Nazis.
Any thoughts?
