‘Children were playing’ when Jabalia school attacked: witness

Victims of an Israeli attack on a school near Jabalia refugee camp have poured into al-Ahli Hospital, according to footage reviewed by Al Jazeera’s Sanad verification agency.

The attack is now reported to have killed at least 10 people and injured another 17, including children.

“The children were playing in the schoolyard, and suddenly we were bombed,” said one displaced woman whose daughter was injured in the attack. “We lived something unnatural.”

Al-Nazla School is an elementary school in as-Saftawi area of northern Gaza near Jabalia where there are hundreds of refugees. A group of Palestinians were filling up gallons of water there when Israeli forces targeted them with air strikes.

Ambulances had a lot of challenges reaching the school because there is a lack of fuel and northern Gaza’s health situation is completely collapsed.

Also, Palestinians were killed in Beit Hanoon when Israeli forces raided a house there. Five of those killed were children.
