Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed more than 60 Palestinians in the past 24 hours, including a journalist and rescue workers.
An attack on a United Nations-run school in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, killed at least 20 displaced Palestinians, including women and children, on Sunday.
A previous airstrike hit the civilian emergency center in the Nuseirat market area in central Gaza, killing Ahmed al-Louh, a video journalist who worked for Tel Aviv Tribune, and five others. Another strike on a house in Nuseirat camp killed five people, including children.
At least 11 people were killed in three Israeli air raids on houses in Gaza City, nine were killed in the towns of Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon and in the Jabalia camp when groups of houses were bombed or burned, and two were killed in Rafah.
The Israeli military said the three homes in Gaza City belonged to “militants” planning imminent attacks.
In Beit Hanoon, residents said Israeli forces besieged families who had taken refuge in the Khalil Aweida school before storming it and ordering them to head towards Gaza City.
The spokesperson for the government media office in Gaza said 43 people were killed in the attack, while others were injured.
As the official Palestinian death toll from the war on Gaza passed 45,000 on Monday, Israel is accused of carrying out genocide and ethnic cleansing to depopulate Gaza’s northern edge to create a buffer zone. Israel denies this and says the campaign targets Hamas.
