Secretary-General Condemns Israeli Shelling of U.N. School 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
Israel drew condemnation from the United Nations on Wednesday for the
bombing of a U.N. school housing displaced Gaza residents. At least 16
people were killed, all civilians. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
called the attack "shameful."

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: "This morning, yet another United Nations
school sheltering thousands of Palestinian families suffered a
reprehensible attack. All available evidence points to Israeli artillery
as the cause. Nothing is more shameful than attacking sleeping children.
At least 16 civilians are dead, and many more are injured."
