At least 27 people have been killed and dozens injured in an Israeli strike on a UN school housing displaced people in al-Nuseirat, in the central Gaza Strip, the Hamas-run Gaza government media office has said.
It accused the Israeli army of carrying out a “horrific massacre … that shames humanity”. There was no immediate confirmation by the health ministry, and the death toll could not immediately be verified.
