At least 14 people have been killed in an Israeli air attack on a school-turned-shelter in Nuseirat camp in central Gaza Strip, on Wednesday Sep. 10th, 2024.
The Palestinian Civil Defence has said that at least 14 people, including women and children, were killed in an Israeli air attack on the UNRWA Al-Jaouni school in Nuseirat camp in central Gaza Strip.
Officials from Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat said they received 10 dead from the strike and another four bodies were brought to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the nearby town of Deir El-Balah. At least 18 people were wounded in the attack.
One of the children killed was the daughter of Momin Selmi, a member of Gaza’s Civil Defence agency, which works to rescue the wounded and retrieve bodies after Israeli strikes.
Selmi hadn’t seen his daughter for 10 months as he remained in northern Gaza to keep working while his family fled south seeking safety, the agency said in a statement.
A man who survived the massacre said angrily that “All of a sudden there was a huge explosion. Women and children were blown to pieces. This is the fifth time the school building was pounded by Israeli warplanes. It is supposed to be a safe sheltering area. What targets are the Israelis hitting in this school?”
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the civil defence agency said that at least three people have been killed and seven wounded in an Israeli air raid on Nassr neighbourhood.
Israeli jets struck a group of people waiting to buy bread outside Al-Sharq bakery west of Gaza City.
Earlier on Wednesday, according to the European Hospital, an attack struck a home near the southern city of Khan Younis, killing 11 people, including six brothers and sisters from the same family who ranged in age from 21 months to 21 years old.
