Rockets Stored In Gaza School Are 'Missing'

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has expressed his "alarm" after rockets were stored in a UN-run school in Gaza, and then went "missing".

A spokesman for Mr Ban said the UN chief was "outraged" at the placement of the weapons and says this has happened at least twice so far in the current fighting.

"Those responsible are turning schools into potential military targets, and endangering the lives of innocent children, UN staff and anyone seeking shelter," the spokesman said in a statement.

The rockets had been placed at one of the schools run by the UN refugee agency for Palestinians, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

Mr Ban's deputy spokesman, Farhan Haq, said that once they were found, "in accordance with standard practice, UNRWA handed them over to the local authorities. Since then, they have gone missing".

Mr Ban has ordered a full review into the incidents.

Last week, the UNRWA said it discovered around 20 rockets hidden in an empty school during a routine check and called on Hamas militants to respect the "sanctity and integrity" of UN property.

It said the incident was "the first of its kind in Gaza".

A second incident was reported on Tuesday, with the UNRWA saying it found rockets hidden at a vacant school during another regular inspection.

The UN was unable to confirm exactly how many rockets were placed there.

The organisation said on Monday that more than 83,000 people are now taking refuge in its schools in Gaza and the numbers are growing.
