Palestinian Toll Tops 1800; UN Condemns "Criminal" Israeli Shelling of Another School for Displaced 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has topped 1,800 as the Israeli
offensive enters its 28th day. On Sunday, at least 10 people died when
Israel shelled another United Nations school sheltering Palestinian
civilians. The United States has called the attack "disgraceful." U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called it a "moral outrage and a criminal
act." It was the seventh U.N. school hit since Israel's offensive began.
