Israel’s attacks on Gaza today included an assault on the UN-run Abu Assi school in the Shati refugee camp in the north, Al Jazeera Hind Khoudary reports.

“Medical sources say at least 10 Palestinians were killed and 20 others injured. Among them were several women and children,” Khoudary said, adding that the school was sheltering thousands of displaced Palestinians.

“Most of them had fled areas in the north, including Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoon and Jabalia,” she added.
