At least 44 Palestinians were killed by "Israeli actions" while sheltering at seven UN schools during last summer's war in Gaza, a UN inquiry has found.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he deplored the deaths and stressed that UN facilities were "inviolable".
The inquiry also found that three empty UN schools were used by Palestinian militants to store weapons, and that in two cases they likely fired from them.
The 50-day conflict claimed the lives of more than 2,260 people.
At least 2,189 were Palestinians, including more than 1,486 civilians, according to the UN. On the Israeli side, 67 soldiers were killed along with six civilians.
'Utmost gravity'
In November, Mr Ban announced that an independent board of inquiry would look into 10 incidents at schools run by the UN agency for Palestine refugees, Unrwa, between 8 July and 26 August 2014.
Both Israel and Hamas, the militant group that dominates Gaza, said they would co-operate with the probe headed by the retired Dutch general Patrick Cammaert.
The report found that weapons were stored at three schools, although they were not being used as shelters at the time. The inquiry found that Palestinian militants had probably fired from two schools, which Mr Ban said was "unacceptable".
"United Nations premises are inviolable and should be places of safety, particularly in a situation of armed conflict," he warned. "I will work with all concerned and spare no effort to ensure that such incidents will never be repeated."

Apparently not.
That is why the rockets are stored there and the tunnels are dug from there.
This begs the question: If there are 3 empty UN schools in Gaza out of 7 in question, just how many “UN” schools are there in that tiny sliver of land? Further, who from the UN is policing these schools?
UN facilities storehoused islamonazi arsenals including missiles and bombs to kill more innocent Israelis. I say bomb them to smithereens. Maybe they’ll learn not to try such sneaky murderous krap anymore
Since the Palestinians were storing weapons there and firing from there, Israel is completely justified in firing on those positions.

The UN: a deliberately non-representative institute for deception, criminal enabling and lawless enforcment. The UN should be gone and ignored until then.
