At least 32 displaced Palestinians have been killed and dozens others wounded in Israeli forces bombardment on a UN-linked school in central Gaza, media reports said on Thursday.
Al-Aqsa Hospital said on Thursday that it received the bodies of 37 people killed by the attacks, which hit al-Sardi school and homes in Nuseirat camp, Aljazeera reported.
It said thousands of displaced Palestinians were sheltering at al-Sardi school linked to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) when it came under attack.
Ismail al-Thawabta, a spokesman for Gaza’s Government Media Office, said “huge numbers of dead and wounded” were arriving at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza.
“This horrible massacre committed by the Israeli occupation is clear evidence of genocide, ethnic cleansing against civilians, including women and children and displaced people in the Gaza Strip,” he told reporters.
The attack on al-Sardi came as Israeli forces stepped up their bombardment of Gaza even as the United States and mediators continued to press ahead with an effort to secure a ceasefire deal.
