GAZA, July 14 : Fifteen people died and 80 were injured in an Israeli strike on the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) school, located in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, Gaza’s government said on Sunday.
“The Israeli occupation has committed a horrific massacre of displaced persons in Abu Oreiban school in Nuseirat camp, leaving 15 people dead and 80 injured,” the government’s media office said in a statement.
On October 7, 2023, the Palestinian movement Hamas launched a large-scale rocket attack against Israel and breached the border, attacking both civilian neighbourhoods and military bases. Nearly 1,200 people in Israel were killed and some 240 others abducted during the attack. Israel launched retaliatory strikes, ordered a complete blockade of Gaza, and started a ground incursion into the Palestinian enclave with the declared goal of eliminating Hamas fighters and rescuing the hostages.
The death toll in the Gaza Strip has reached 38,584 since last October, while over 88,800 have been injured, according to the Palestinian enclave’s health ministry’s estimates. (UNI)
