Over the weekend, at least 82 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes on Jabaliya refugee camp, including multiple United Nations schools sheltering Palestinians. At least 85 incidents of Israeli bombing have impacted 67 facilities run by the United Nations relief agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) in the last two months. We speak with Tamara Alrifai, spokesperson for UNRWA, about the organization sheltering close to a million Palestinians from Israel’s assault, which has killed 104 of her colleagues since the beginning of the war — the highest number of United Nations aid workers killed in a conflict in the history of the United Nations. Alrifai says her agency is only getting half of the fuel they need to serve people in Gaza, being forced to choose between clean water, food and transport. “If UNRWA ceases to exist tomorrow, then there is a huge layer of stabilizing and stability that UNRWA usually offers in a very, very volatile area that also collapses.”

legitimate targets among civilians and human shields, THAT IS THE WAR CRIME HERE.

Like when Israel bombed a refugee camp to get a single Hamas Leader?

Oh, maybe you meant when Hamas targeted the preschools on Oct 7?

There are no saints in this war.

you deal with that by attacking anyway and demonstrate to the enemy that tactic does not work and will not be tolerated.

Hamas, seems to be doing fine, it's the people of Gaza that have to take the hits. Also not a warm idea for the hostages you've doomed to death.

the situation is beyond the point of tiptoeing around world opinion and rose-colored glasses wearing people like you.

Empathy, the word you are looking for is called Empathy.

any org that employs the tactics hamas has used should be wiped out.

Agreed, use better tactics, aim, and FFS stop hitting the children.
