Gaza’s civil defence agency has said its crew recovered charred bodies from a school-turned-shelter for displaced people, as Israeli strikes killed 17 people since dawn, AFP reports.
“Seventeen people have been killed since dawn,” civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP, as Israel pounded the territory.
He said 11 of the victims, who included women and children, died in an air strike targeting the Yafa school building in Gaza City’s Al-Tuffah neighbourhood.
“The school was housing displaced people. The bombing sparked a massive blaze, and several charred bodies have since been recovered,” he said.
