Palestinians who escaped what medics said was Israeli shelling that hit a U.N-run school sheltering Palestinian refugees, rest at a hospital in Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip July 24, 2014. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Thursday he was appalled by an attack on a United Nations-run school in the Gaza strip that killed civilians, including children, and U.N. staff. The Gaza health ministry said at least 15 people had been killed and some 200 wounded. More than 140,000 Palestinians have fled 17 days of fighting between Israel and Gaza militants, many of them seeking shelter in buildings run by the U.N. Refugee Works Agency (UNRWA). Israeli forces are trying to stop Hamas militants, which rules Gaza, and their allies from firing rockets into Israel. REUTERS/Finbarr O'Reilly (GAZA - Tags: POLITICS MILITARY CIVIL UNREST CONFLICT)
