2014 Israeli shelling of UNRWA Gaza shelters

The 2014 Israeli shelling of UNRWA shelters during the Gaza conflict marked a significant humanitarian crisis, drawing international attention and condemnation. In July and August 2014, as part of Operation Protective Edge, Israeli forces targeted numerous facilities administered by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) that had been designated as safe havens for civilians fleeing hostilities. This shelling resulted in extensive casualties and raised serious concerns regarding the protection of non-combatants in armed conflict, leading to calls for accountability and investigations into potential violations of international law. India's response was reflective of its longstanding support for Palestinian rights, urging restraint and dialogue amidst the escalating situation.
