UN retracts claim strike hit Gaza school

[samspade]

The United Nations has retracted a claim that an Israeli strike which killed more than 40 people in northern Gaza city of Jabaliya last month hit a school run by a UN agency.
"The humanitarian coordinator would like to clarify that the shelling, and all of the fatalities, took place outside rather than inside the school," the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in its latest weekly update on the situation in Gaza.
It stressed that its initial report of the January 6 incident correctly stated that Israeli shells hit outside the school run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA, but that it later referred to "the shelling of the UNRWA school in Jabaliya."
The Israeli military initially said its forces had responded to hostile fire from within the UN school but later reportedly retracted that statement.
The attack sparked widespread outrage in the midst of Israel's deadly offensive in Gaza.

Is that the incident Dac talked about, where CNN interviewed some civilians?

I do not know. I saw this and thought it was a good follow up to the initial story. I seem to recall a member here saying there was a gunman came out of the school while the reporter or whomever denied there were gunmen.

Yeah, that was the one. They were interviewing civilians, and there was talk that they shelled the school after midnight when the children were sleeping in their beds. They were also saying that there were no gunmen in the building; so the reporter asks, so they shelled the school building and the children were inside it sleeping, and one of the civilians said, No, the children were home in their beds sleeping. Then the gunman comes out and orders the reporter away. I should have just gone back and got Dac's post.

Just yesterday, the UN acknowledged that Hamas police siezed a large quantity of blankets and food parcels from a UN warehouse. I don't have the link handy, but I saw it on Yahoo.

What a surprise. The UN is a bloody useless organsiation that does nothing but give comfort to terrorists and other enemies of the West.

Trouble is the damage of the report is already done. Bias was set in many minds, that won't go away.
