The attack in Deir el-Balah is the latest in a string of strikes on schools sheltering displaced families in Gaza.

An Israeli air strike on a school-turned-shelter in the central Gaza Strip has killed at least 28 people and wounded dozens of others, according to Palestinian authorities.

“Palestine Red Crescent teams responded to 28 fatalities and 54 injuries following the Israeli occupation army’s targeting of Rafida School,” the Palestinian Red Crescent said on Thursday. Gaza’s Health Ministry also confirmed the death toll.

“The Israeli occupation committed a new massacre by targeting the displaced in the [Rafida] school in the Deir el-Balah area in the central governorate this afternoon, where 28 martyrs and more than 54 injuries arrived at the hospitals,” the ministry said.

reporting from Deir el-Balah, said children and women “were torn to pieces by the intensity of the strike”.

“I saw with my own eyes lots of bodies that were torn to pieces, making it quite hard to identify them unless family members managed to find out who they were from some signs in their clothing in the hospital morgue,” Abu Azzoum said.

He said the Israeli army did not issue a warning before striking the building.
