(Reuters) - After another deadly attack on a U.N. school in Gaza sheltering Palestinians from fighting between Israel and Hamas militants, the United Nations declared "enough is enough" on Wednesday and asked - when civilians are warned to leave, where do they go?

With 1.8 million people living in a Mediterranean enclave he described as the size of Detroit and Philadelphia, a disheartened U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson said there was nowhere for people to flee the conflict that has killed some 1,200 Palestinians.

"This is a moment where you really have to say 'enough is enough' and you have to search for the right words to convince those who have the power to stop this," Eliasson told reporters at the United Nations. Israel says it regularly warns residents by phone calls, text messages, leaflets and dud missiles launched on their roofs to warn them in advance of attacks. But Eliasson asked: "Where do they go? There's very few places to go in Gaza."

At least 16 people were killed and some 100 wounded when an Israeli artillery struck a U.N. school at dawn on Wednesday in Gaza's biggest refugee camp, Eliasson said. The United Nations is protecting more than 200,000 people at its facilities.

Speaking in Costa Rica earlier on Wednesday, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack as outrageous and unjustifiable. "It demands accountability and justice," he said. "Nothing is more shameful than attacking sleeping children."

He said the precise location of the school had been communicated to Israeli military authorities 17 times, most recently on Tuesday night just hours before the attack.

Some truth to that, but still, to claim that the Palestinians as a whole are wrong because of what the peeps in power do is like blaming YOU for Obamacare.

Ouch. That one left a mark.

If only the Pals would rise up and throw off the shackles of their Hamas oppressors...

How long until the November elections again ?

Oops.

Anyway, since you apparently don't believe anything that you can't observe personally,

and I'm pretty sure you haven't been to either Gaza or Israel, you have no knowledge of the topic.

Close down all the garbage mashers on the detention level, and maybe they wouldn't.

Try it.

In fact, this is your assignment.

Use every tool at your disposal.

You'll get surprising results.
