Amnesty says Israel's attacks on Palestinian civilians 'may amount to war crimes or crimes against humanity'

People inspect the rubble of a destroyed commercial building and Gaza health care clinic following an Israeli airstrike on the upper floors of a commercial building near the Health Ministry in Gaza, on May 17, 2021.

About 47,000 of the displaced civilians have sought shelter in 58 UN-run schools in Gaza, Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Geneva, told reporters. The UN and its humanitarian partners are providing food and other assistance to displaced families when the security situation allows, Laerke said.There is a severe shortage of medical supplies, a risk of water-borne diseases and the spread of Covid-19 because of displaced people crowding into schools, said Margaret Harris, a spokeswoman for the World Health Organization.

Israel says it strikes only sites it deems military targets. It says that it regularly issues prior warnings to evacuate buildings it sees as legitimate targets.

Security Council and Muslim nations convened emergency meetings Sunday to demand a stop to civilian bloodshed as Israeli warplanes carried out the deadliest single attacks in nearly a week of unrelenting Hamas rocket barrages and Israeli airstrikes. President Joe Biden's U.N. ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, told an emergency high-level meeting of the Security Council that the U.S. was “working tirelessly through diplomatic channels' to stop the fighting.
