[United Nations @UN]

An airstrike in Gaza hit a hospital courtyard on Monday, burning tents where people were sleeping.

Strikes also hit an @UNRWA school where families were sheltering. The location was meant to be used as a polio vaccination site.

A ceasefire is urgently needed to stop the devastation.
