22 killed in shelling near Gaza office: Red Cross

The Hindu  

The International Committee of the Red Cross said 22 people were killed in a shell attack on June 21 that damaged its Gaza office, which is surrounded by hundreds of displaced persons living in tents. It said 22 bodies and 45 wounded had been taken to a nearby Red Cross field hospital after the shelling, and there were "reports of additional casualties". The ICRC said: "Heavy-calibre projectiles landed within metres of the office and residences of the International Committee of the Red Cross on Friday afternoon." "Firing so dangerously close to humanitarian structures, of whose locations the parties to the conflict are aware and which are clearly marked with the Red Cross emblem, puts the lives of civilians and Red Cross staff at risk," the body added.
