Qatar condemned the attack by Israel’s military on a UNRWA-affiliated school in the al-Shati refugee camp, which shelters displaced people, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement posted on X, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “This attack led to casualties and injuries and is considered an extension of the occupation’s policies targeting defenceless civilians and civilian facilities.”

The ministry also warned of the “dangerous implications of the occupation’s attempts to impede the activities of UNRWA”.
