STORYLINE:
An Israeli airstrike on a school housing displaced people in the northern part of the Gaza Strip Saturday killed 16 and wounded 21, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense.
The Saturday afternoon airstrike on Hamama School in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City knocked out part of the complex.
After an initial airstrike, one of the residents received a call from the Israeli military telling him that the school will be attacked again so people started running away and returned after the second airstrike.
The Civil Defense warned Saturday that it is running out of fuel used for ambulances and fire engines warning that its work might stop within hours.
The death toll inside Gaza is nearing 40,000.
At least 39,550 Palestinians have been killed in the nearly 10 months since Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 attack on Israel triggered their latest war.
That’s according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count. Israel has accused Hamas of embedding in the civilian population and putting it at risk.
Most of Gaza’s population of about 2.3 million is displaced, many people multiple times, as Israel’s military returns to areas where it says Hamas militants have regrouped.
Health services and sanitation have largely collapsed across the territory as hunger grows.
