According to initial reports, 39 people have been killed and dozens more injured in an Israeli army attack on a school for displaced people run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in the Nuseirat\u00a0 refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n
A written statement posted on the Telegram account of the Government Media Office in Gaza said that the Israeli army committed a terrible massacre by bombing a school where dozens of displaced people were sheltering in the 2nd district of Nuseirat\u00a0refugee camp.<\/p>\n
The statement said that the bodies of those killed in the attack reached Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital and dozens of wounded were brought to the hospital, stressing that it was filled three times its capacity with wounded and sick people. It was pointed out that the dead and wounded continue to be brought to the hospital.<\/p>\n
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) claimed that the school was being used by Hamas and that it had taken extensive measures to prevent harm to civilians in the ‘sensitive’ attack.<\/p>\n
The IDF said in a statement that the school in question was used by Hamas’s elite Nukba forces, which took part in the 7 October raid. The statement claimed that Hamas, together with Islamic Jihad, directed ‘terrorist attacks’ from there.<\/p>\n
The Gaza government statement condemned Israel for committing genocide by carrying out these massacres. The statement also condemned America for standing by Israel and giving the green light to the continuation of this genocide by providing arms and military support.<\/p>\n
The statement held Israel and the US administration fully responsible for these crimes against humanity and international law and called on the world to condemn these crimes and the Israeli-American attacks on Gaza.<\/p>\n
The statement called on the international community, the United Nations and all international institutions and organisations to put pressure on Israel to stop the genocide against civilians, children and women in Gaza.<\/p>\n
The statement also called on the international community to prosecute Israeli and American war criminals involved in these daily massacres and genocide against civilians in Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
