Gaza death toll tops 45,000 as Israel targets UN school sheltering civilians
GAZA’S death toll from Israel’s 14-month attack has topped 45,000 people, health officials said today, as a United Nations-run school housing displaced people was targeted.
Israeli forces bombed the UNRWA-run Ahmed bin Aziz School in southern Khan Younis on Sunday evening, killing at least 20 people, including six children.
UNRWA spokeswoman Louise Wateridge said she had met children injured in the strike, which included a 17-year-old girl who suffered a severe leg injury and shrapnel wounds.
