UN dismayed by indiscriminate shooting of schoolgirl by Israeli forces

United Nations, press release, 3 March 2003

After a 12-year-old girl was shot in the head while sitting at her desk in a
United Nations school in the Palestinian territory, a top UN relief official in
the region has expressed dismay at the Israeli military's indiscriminate
use of force in civilian areas.

Peter Hansen, Commissioner-General of the UN Relief and Works
Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), visited the girl
and her family yesterday at the intensive care unit of Shifa Hospital in
Gaza City where she is receiving treatment.

UNRWA said the girl was attending an Agency-run school when she was
wounded by retaliatory fire from Israeli forces after an Israeli tank was
fired upon near the Khan Younis refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.
