Israeli Attack on Unrwa School Kill 16 People at Least, Mostly Children

At least 16 people have been killed and 75 injured by an Israeli attack on an UNRWA school in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, the Gaza Ministry of Health confirmed.

The school attacked, Al Jaouni, housed some 2,000 displaced people, according to UNRWA, although the Gaza government raises the figure to 7,000 displaced.

“The ‘Israeli’ occupation army committed a new massacre in the Nuseirat camp in the afternoon of this Saturday, when it bombed the al-Jaouni school with fighter planes, where there are approximately 7,000 displaced people,” the Gazan government said.

An UNRWA spokesman in Gaza said that “We provided the Israeli Army with the coordinates of the schools housing displaced people twice a day” and detailed that al-Jaouni is one of the most overcrowded in the area.

Gazatian authorities say this is the massacre number 43 committed by the occupation during the genocidal war in the Nuseirat camp, where 250,000 residents and displaced people currently live.

The authorities in the Strip sized that since the beginning of the war of genocide, the occupation has bombed more than 17 schools and displacement centres and shelters in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

The statement added that there are only two functioning hospitals in central Gaza and that they are “unable to provide health and medical services as a result of the large overcrowding and the many infections that have reached them over the past months”.

An Al-Jazeera’s reporter Hind Khoudary in the Gaza Strip have reported “decapitated bodies arriving at Al-Aqsa Hospital after the Zionist attack and says that “ambulances have not stopped carrying injured Palestinians” to the Hospital, she addressed that there are at least four Palestinians in every ambulance.
