Civil Defence worker’s daughter among the dead in Nuseirat strike

We’ve been reporting on yet another Israeli attack on a school sheltering war-displaced Palestinians, which killed at least 14 people, including children, with the death toll expected to rise.

One of the children killed was the daughter of Momin Selmi, a member of Gaza’s Civil Defence agency, which works to rescue the wounded and retrieve bodies after Israeli strikes.

Selmi hadn’t seen his daughter for 10 months as he remained in northern Gaza to keep working while his family fled south seeking safety, the agency said in a statement.

Officials from al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat said they received 10 dead from the strike and another four bodies were brought to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the nearby town of Deir el-Balah. At least 18 people were wounded in the attack.



Death toll of Israeli attack on UNRWA school rises to 18

The attack on the UNRWA school in Nuseirat refugee camp killed at least two staff working for the UN agency that provides relief to Palestinians, the civil defence agency added.

At least 20 people were wounded. It is the fifth time the shelter has been bombed by Israeli forces since the war on Gaza began last October.

6 UN staff among the dead in Israel’s Nuseirat school attack

The United Nation’s Palestinian refugee agency says six of its staffers were killed in two Israeli air raids on central Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp – the “highest death toll among our staff in single incident” during the war.

Among those killed was the manager of the UNRWA shelter and other team members providing assistance to displaced people, it said.

“This school has been hit five times since the war began. It is home to around 12,000 displaced people, mainly women and children. No one is safe in Gaza. No one is spared,” the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said.
