Israeli forces have targeted a UN-run school for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing more than a dozen and injuring many more.
The UNRWA-run school, which has been housing hundreds of displaced people, was struck on Sunday, as Israel continues to systematically target shelters, schools, and UNRWA facilities across the besieged strip in its tenth-month genocidal war.
The Gaza Government Media Office said that the attack on the Abu Oreiban School in Nuseirat refugee camp killed 15 people and left 80 wounded.
“This massacre comes as a continuation of genocide being perpetrated by the occupation army against our Palestinian people for the tenth month in a row,” it said in a statement.
“We hold the Israeli occupation and the US administration fully responsible for the continuation of these massacres against the displaced and civilians,” the office added.
Earlier, Palestinian medical sources said at least 15 civilians were killed and 70 wounded in the Israeli bombardment of the school.
