STORYLINE:
An Israeli strike on a school in Gaza City sheltering displaced people killed 15 people, hospitals and the Health Ministry said Thursday.
They were among dozens of people killed in airstrikes that pounded the Strip Wednesday night and Thursday morning, including another 15 people killed in strikes that hit tents in the sprawling Muwasi zone, where many displaced Palestinians are sheltering.
In total, Israeli airstrikes and shootings killed 94 Palestinians in Gaza overnight, including 45 who were attempting to get much-needed humanitarian aid, hospitals and the Health Ministry said.
A man who lost two cousins and their families in the Gaza City airstrike said "We found fire spreading all over the roof. It was a huge fire. When we started to put it out, we found charred bodies of children and women."
Israel’s military did not immediately comment on the strikes.
Five people were also killed while outside sites associated with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the newly-created, secretive American organization backed by Israel to feed the Gaza Strip’s population, while 40 others were killed waiting for aid in other locations across the Gaza Strip.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza has passed 57,000 since the war began on Oct. 7, 2023.
The toll includes 223 people who had been missing but have now been declared dead.
The ministry doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants in its death count but says that more than half of the dead are women and children.
