GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – A Palestinian woman was killed and several others were injured on Monday morning as Israeli forces shelled a school sheltering displaced people north of the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
The elderly woman was killed and several other displaced people were injured when the Israeli army shelled the Al-Izz bin Abdul Salam School in the northern part of the Nuseirat refugee camp, medical sources told Anadolu.
Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip following an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas last Oct. 7, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
The onslaught has resulted in over 40,400 Palestinian deaths, mostly women and children, and over 93,000 injuries, according to local health authorities.
An ongoing blockade of Gaza has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine, leaving much of the region in ruins.
Israel faces accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which has ordered a halt to military operations in the southern city of Rafah, where over one million Palestinians had sought refuge before the area was invaded on May 6.
