Israeli attack kills 16 in Gaza’s UNRWA school for the displaced – Ministry

An Israeli attack has killed at least 16 Palestinians and injured 50 others at UNRWA’s Al-Jaouni school sheltering displaced people in al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) in the strip said on Saturday. CNN cannot independently verify the MoH’s numbers. A displaced man at the school told CNN, children were among the injured.

“There was a swing here, swings were here, (children) were playing. What was their fault?” he asked, as he held his little daughter. “We barely found this place in the school, but even the school is not safe.”

CNN video shows several injured children arriving at a nearby hospital following the attack.

The Israeli military said in a statement on Saturday militants were operating in structures located in the school area.  (CNN)
