OCCUPIED AL-QUDS, JUL.6, (ST)- Israeli airstrikes on a school-turned-shelter in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip today killed at least 16 Palestinians, according to local sources.
They said that Israeli fighter jets targeted al-Ga‘uni School sheltering displaced persons in the camp, killing at least 16 people and injuring dozens, mostly children and women.
Israeli occupation has proceeded with its genocidal offensive on the war-torn Strip in complete disregard of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ordered Israel in a legally binding decision to halt its military offensive in Rafah, which may violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention.
It has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7, killing at least 38,098 Palestinians and injuring over 87,705 others.
Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
