At least 39 displaced Palestinians were killed on Thursday in an Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering thousands of displaced people in Gaza city’s Nuseirat refugee camp, according to local authorities.
In a statement, the Gaza-based Government Media Office said the Israeli army struck a UN agency for Palestinian refugees-run school in the Nuseirat refugee camp also leaving dozens of people injured.
It added that the Israeli army’s relentless “massacres” in Gaza is proof that it continues the “genocide” of displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Authorities at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said that the attack left at least 39 people dead and dozens of others injured. They said the death toll may rise as victims are still being brought to the hospital.
