Das Leiden der Zivilbevölkerung in Gaza

UNRWA SCHOOL IN BEIT LAHIA, GAZA, PALESTINE
To get a visual feeling of what it means for a school -- sheltering civilians -- to be subjected to Israeli white phosphorous bombs ... rain of inexinguishable fire balls falling from the sky in all directions, deliberately designed to cause maximum death and destruction.

No wonder it is illegal to use white phosphorous as a weapon of war, particularly in civilian settings, let alone a UN shelter!

In this criminal attack two children were killed, their mother lost her legs, and dozens of children and women were injured -- some from inhaling the phosphorous smoke, the effects of which will only be revealed with time.
