Death toll in Israeli attack on UNRWA school rises to 17
We have an update on the figures from the attack on the UNRWA school in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. According to eye-witnesses who saw the bodies being taken to Al-Aqsa Hospital, at least 17 people have been killed.
Many of the people who were killed had arrived in recent days after Israel issued evacuation orders on several areas.
We walked into the Al-Aqsa Hospital and saw women and children on the floor who experienced severe burns crying out in pain and agony. This is the result of incinerating bombs packed with nails and causing severe burns and wounds.
The Government Media Office has said that the attack on internally displaced people in the Abu Oreiban School in Nuseirat refugee camp has also 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.
Women and children the majority of victims in UN shelter attack
In a little over 24 hours, we’ve witnessed three atrocities committed in the Gaza Strip. The latest was at a UN-run school in Nuseirat refugee camp.
The vast majority of the critically injured arrived here at Al-Aqsa Hospital. We’ve seen some of the most horrific wounds on those who’ve been rushed into operating theatres to try and save their lives. We’re talking about 70 wounded people.
The tragedy of all this is the pattern of these attacks. Women and children make up the majority of victims brought to the hospital. This is not the first time we’ve seen facilities managed and operated by the United Nations being attacked deliberately.
There’s mayhem and chaos at the school. These facilities that have been turned into shelters have been sites of major attacks by the Israeli occupying forces.
Israeli attempts to ‘subjugate our people’ through violence will fail: Hamas
The group has said that Israel continues to attack displaced civilians in shelter centres, in reference to today’s strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp. Israel struck UNRWA’s Abu Oreiban School earlier today, killing at least 15 and injuring 80.
“This is an extension of the ongoing war of extermination against civilians and the targeting of women and children,” Hamas said in a statement. “The attempts by [Israeli PM Benjamin] Netanyahu and his government to subjugate our people through this level of unprecedented crime will fail. Our people are only becoming more defiant.”
Al-Quds Brigades claim series of attacks on Israeli targets
The armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad has said its fighters:
- Shelled a group of Israeli soldiers in the vicinity of the destroyed airport east of Rafah.
- Shelled an Israeli military command centre in the Netzarim Corridor, which was named after a Jewish settlement in Gaza that was dismantled in 2005, and set up during the war by the army to separate northern Gaza from the south.
- Shelled a group of soldiers and military vehicles at the entrance to the destroyed Rafah border crossing and its vicinity.
- Targeted positions of Israeli soldiers in the areas of al-Abd Jaber, al-Tu’ma, Burj al-Asi – all southwest of the Yibna refugee camp in the city of Rafah.
- Killed and wounded an unspecified number of soldiers who had entered a house east of Rafah, using light and anti-personnel weapons.
