Israeli forces bomb another UN-run school, kill 20 Palestinians
Israeli forces bombed the Ahmed bin Abdul Aziz School in southern Khan Younis, killing at least 20 people, according to the Wafa news agency. The victims included children. Many others were also wounded, Wafa added.
The school is run by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and is located near the Nasser Medical Complex, west of Khan Younis, The strike cam without any warning and left behind a huge level of destruction and caused a huge fire to break out.
Civil Defence workers have banded together with civilians at the site of the attack and are looking for anyone who may be alive. Those who were injured and killed were transported to the Nasser Medical Complex.
It’s quite heartbreaking. Especially because families were sleeping when the strike took place.
Day in and day out, the Israeli military has been focused on pummelling these UN-run shelters that civilians have been taking refuge in, due to the lack of standing buildings and safe spaces.
