At least 39 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a United Nations-run school in central Gaza, according to authorities in the Palestinian enclave.
At least 39 people have been killed and dozens of others injured in an overnight Israeli airstrike on a United Nations-run school in central Gaza, according to hospital and government authorities in the Palestinian enclave. The school, run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees , was housing displaced people in the Nuseirat refugee camp at the time of the strike, the Gaza government media office said.
The facility was believed to be housing approximately 20,000 displaced people who had taken shelter in the school, its yard, and the surrounding area, according to the stringer. Gaza authorities said the dead and injured continue to be brought to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, which is operating at three times its clinical capacity, “signaling a real disaster that will lead to a greater increase in the number of martyrs,” the Gaza media office said. CNN has reached out to UNRWA for comment.
