Israel Bombed A UN School Where 6,000 Palestinians Were Sheltering And KilledAt Least 40 People

Israel bombed a UN-run school sheltering 6,000 displaced Palestinians in central Gaza killing at least 40 people, including 14 children and 9 women, and injuring several others.
In the early hours of Thursday, June 6, Israeli fighter jets launched two missiles at top-floor classrooms at al-Sardi school in the urban Nuseirat refugee camp, BBC reported citing local reporters.
Nearly 6,000 Palestinians, who had evacuated from the relentless bombardment in northern Gaza, were sheltering in the school, which is linked to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees or UNRWA.
Graphic videos and photos circulating on social media showed ambulances carrying the injured and dead, wrapped in shrouds or carpets, as well as mass destruction and damage to several classrooms in one of the school’s buildings.
Israel’s military spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, confirmed the bombing and defended the attack, saying that fighter jets targeted a “Hamas compound embedded inside an UNRWA school in the area of Nuseirat.”
He also claimed that the bombing “eliminated 20 to 30 terrorists who were planning to carry out attacks from inside classrooms” against Israeli forces.
Palestinian officials called the strike a “horrible massacre.”
Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza became overwhelmed with the number of dead and wounded being admitted, as it was already “filled with wounded patients three times beyond its clinical capacity.”
Meanwhile, the US said it expect Israel to be fully transparent in making the information about the strike public.
Since Oct. 7, Israel’s ongoing genocide on Gaza have killed more than 37,000 Palestinians and injured more than 80,000, mostly women and children.
