Thirty five people have been confirmed killed in an Israeli strike on a UN-run school hosting displaced Palestinians in central Gaza, with up to 10 others also feared dead. “The estimated number of deaths is between 35 and 45. UNRWA cannot confirm these numbers at this time,” Inas Hamdan, the UNRWA’s acting public information officer for Gaza, told The National. Official Palestinian media has placed the current death toll at 35, with women and children making up most of the victims.
