At least 41 people, including at least 13 children, have been killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza on Sunday, according to hospitals.

At least 22 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Al Mufti school in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp, officials from Al Awda and Al Aqsa hospitals said. More than 5,000 displaced people are sheltering in the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) school, according to Gaza’s civil defense.

Among the dead was at least one infant who was brought to the hospital with injuries, but died shortly after medical teams attempted to save him, according to Al Aqsa hospital. The baby’s body was later carried away in the arms of his sobbing uncle and taken to the morgue, CNN stringer video shows. Another video shows the deceased infant alongside another deceased baby at the hospital’s morgue.

“The situation is very difficult at Al Mufti school, with a large number of martyrs and injuries,” Khaled Abu Zaher, a paramedic told CNN, adding that the area is classified as a safe zone, according to the Israeli military.

Meanwhile, in northern Gaza, five children were killed in an Israeli airstrike while playing marbles in Al Shati camp, according to Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City.

Footage seen by CNN shows children bleeding from their faces as they are transported to the hospital. One video shows the five deceased children wrapped in shrouds as heartbroken family members bid farewell.

Another video shows a child survivor named Rakan on a hospital bed. "We were playing marbles,” the child is heard saying.

Earlier at the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, eight members of a family — including six children — were killed when the Israeli military struck a house they were sheltering in, according to Al Aqsa hospital. Another six people were killed when an Israeli tank shelled the Bureij refugee camp, it said.

CNN has reached out to the Israeli military for comment on the strikes.
