CNN —A school run by the United Nations in northern Gaza has been hit with apparently devastating impact, the UN confirmed Saturday, in what a top UN official described as a “horrifying” incident.
Video from al-Fakhoura School in Jabalya – which was being used as a shelter for displaced people – shows bloodied bodies across a series of rooms on two floors of the two-story building.
The Israeli military is reviewing the incident, it told CNN, but had no further comment.
Another school in Zaitoun was sheltering 4,000 people when it was struck multiple times on Friday, Touma told CNN.
Dozens of people were likely killed in that incident, according to Lazzarini, who wrote: “These attacks cannot become commonplace, they must stop.
