From a comrade who works in an NGO in the Middle East:
"On the record quote in the name of Chris Gunness, UNRWA Spokesperson:
At 1400 today an UNRWA team which included an international weapons expert went to the school at Beit Hanoun which came under attack yesterday causing multiple deaths and injury. The aim of the visit to the site was to survey the scene in the aftermath of the incident. The Israeli army had been notified in advance about the composition of the team, the time and purpose of the visit. The mission had to be cut short and the team was forced to leave the area after gunfire around the school. UNRWA regrets not being able complete even this initial assessment. We will attempt to visit the site when the situation allows. We again underline our call for an immediate and comprehensive investigation.
Chris
so how responsible is it for this Chris Guinness book to report yesterday that the attack may have been from a stray Hamas rocket before investigating"
