At least 22 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Al Mufti school in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp, officials from Al Awda and Al Aqsa hospitals said. More than 5,000 displaced people are sheltering in the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) school, according to Gaza’s civil defense.
Among the dead was at least one infant who was brought to the hospital with injuries, but died shortly after medical teams attempted to save him, according to Al Aqsa hospital. The baby’s body was later carried away in the arms of his sobbing uncle and taken to the morgue, CNN stringer video shows. Another video shows the deceased infant alongside another deceased baby at the hospital’s morgue.
Meanwhile, in northern Gaza, five children were killed in an Israeli airstrike while playing marbles in Al Shati camp, according to Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City.
