Residents report a plane destroying the UN building, which collapsed on top of people, calling the raid a ‘massacre’.
Israel has bombed a United Nations-run school sheltering displaced Palestinians, killing at least nine, officials and residents say.
The attack at Asma School in Gaza City’s Shati refugee camp also wounded several people, Gaza’s Civil Defence said on Sunday, as rescuers searched for more victims under the rubble.
Taher al-Rantisi said he “saw a plane destroying the building, which collapsed on top of the people” there, calling the attack “a massacre”.
The Palestinians sheltering at the school building included “innocent children and elderly” people, said Rantisi. When the strike hit, “all the people and children were torn apart”, he said.
The Civil Defence said six bodies had been identified, including one of a young girl.
