About 47,000 of the displaced people have sought shelter in 58 UN-run schools in Gaza, Jens Laerke, a spokesman for OCHA in Geneva, told reporters.
The UN and its humanitarian partners are providing food and other assistance to displaced families when the security situation allows, Mr Laerke said. "Israeli forces have displayed a shocking disregard for the lives of Palestinian civilians by carrying out a number of air strikes targeting residential buildings in some cases killing entire families — including children — and causing wanton destruction to civilian property, in attacks that may amount to war crimes or crimes against humanity," Amnesty said.
Amnesty, which urged both sides last week not to violate humanitarian law, said it had documented four deadly attacks by Israel launched on residential homes without prior warning and called on the International Criminal Court to investigate.It said Israeli strikes on May 11 destroyed two residential buildings belonging to the Abu al-Ouf and al-Kolaq families, killing 30 people, 11 of them children.
UN should do investigation that who acid washed all other religions from middle east.
