Israeli F-16 Attack Kills Father of Palestinian Journalist; Israel Bombs UN School, Killing Three
The UN says around a quarter of the dead are civilians, but that figure only counts women and children, excluding adult males. Today, we will look at one of those men killed. I am joined by Fares Akram. He is the Gaza correspondent for The Independent of London. His father was killed in an Israeli F-16 attack on Saturday. His wife is nine months pregnant. We also speak with UNRWA's Christopher Gunness on the Israeli bombing of an UN school that killed three people.

UN officials say thirty people, including children, have been killed in an Israeli strike on a United Nations-run school in Gaza. The attack in the north of the region is the single most deadly incident since Israel began its offensive 11 days ago.
