Nuseirat, Palestinian Territories: Faisal Thari's quest for safety led him to seek refuge in a UN school, only to face the horror of its bombing Thursday. Shocked, he deplored the civilian toll of the Gaza war.
"The strike landed on civilians and poor people who had nothing to do with anything," Thari told AFP.
"Why? What have we done for them to bomb us?" he said, standing in front of concrete hanging from the classroom ceiling by a thread of rebar.
"We've fled from place to place. There is no safe place. No UNRWA school is safe. No tent is safe. There is no safe place," he said, referring to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.
With railings dangling from the facade and blood still pooled in a corner, the distinct UN blue on the walls was a sign the building had served as a school for Nuseirat refugee camp.
