An Israeli airstrike yesterday hit a school in Gaza where dozens of displaced people were taking shelter with at least 30 pronounced dead, the Palestinian health ministry said.
Eight women and 15 children were among those killed at the girls' school in Deir Al-Balah, with those injured taken to AlAqsa Martyrs Hospital. People were seen searching the rubble for further victims, with more than 100 wounded. Israel's military said that it had targeted a Hamas command and control centre which was being used to store weapons and plan attacks. A statement added that it had warned civilians before the strike.
The attack came a day before officials from the US, Egypt, Qatar and Israel were scheduled to meet in Italy for talks about hostages and a possible ceasefire.
Pictures showed classrooms in ruins, while civilians and emergency workers gathered the remains of those who were killed.
Um Hasan Ali, a displaced woman living at the school, said it had only been a couple of months since she had returned to Gaza from Egypt with her daughter who had been taken there for medical treatment, and now her daughter had been wounded in the strike and taken to hospital.
