US 'deeply concerned' after deadly Israel strike on Gaza school

Deccan Chronicle  

WASHINGTON: The White House said Saturday it was "deeply concerned" about civilian casualties after an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza school housing displaced Palestinians that rescuers said killed more than 90 people. "We are deeply concerned about reports of civilian casualties in Gaza" following the strike, National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett said in a statement. Savett said Hamas has been using schools to operate out of, "but we have also said repeatedly and consistently that Israel must take measures to minimize civilian harm." With authorities in Gaza saying that the death toll has topped 39,790 in the war, Savett said that "far too many civilians continue to be killed and wounded."
