Israeli strikes have killed at least 43 people taking refuge inside a UN school in the Gaza Strip, medics say.
Ignoring international calls for a cease-fire, Israeli soldiers edged closer to Gaza’s major population centers. A total of 64 Palestinians were killed Tuesday in fighting — with just two confirmed as Hamas activists, health officials in Gaza said.
“There’s nowhere safe in Gaza. Everyone here is terrorized and traumatized,” John Ging, the top U.N. official in Gaza, said after the first strike on the compound of a U.N. school killed three people.
Israeli tank fire killed at least 40 people who had taken refuge inside an UN-run school in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, according to Palestinian medical sources. FRANCE 24’s exclusive footage filmed hours after the attack showed disturbing images of seriously wounded people – including children – being rushed into a hospital in northern Gaza as the situation on the ground worsened.
