More than 80 Palestinians have been killed and dozens have been injured in an Israel i air strike on a school sheltering displaced people east of Gaza City, according to Palestinian authorities.
The UN's human rights office has condemned the attack, saying "for many, schools are the last resort to find some shelter". Israel's military also disputed the toll, saying the "precise munitions" used "cannot cause the amount of damage that is being reported" by the Hamas-run government. The first floor housed the mosque, and the second level had a school — where about 6,000 displaced people were taking shelter, he said.
