Blood can be seen in the aftermath of the Israeli strike on a U.N.-run school that killed dozens of Palestinians in the Nusseirat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, June 6, 2024

More than 30 killed by Israeli strike on UN school sheltering displaced Palestinians

MORE than 30 people — mostly children — were killed by an Israeli strike on a UN school sheltering displaced Palestinians today.

Israel defended the latest bloodshed among Palestinians seeking refuge by claiming that Hamas was operating from within the UN refugee agency (UNRWA) school in Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza.

It did not provide evidence for its claims, as is usually the case with such attacks.

A CNN analysis indicated that the weapons used in the pre-dawn attack were US-made.

It is not the first time that air-strikes have targeted the school.

The attack followed Israel’s announcement on Wednesday of a new military campaign in central Gaza, saying that there would be no pause in fights amid ceasefire talks.

Peace and Justice Project founder Jeremy Corbyn, who is defending his Islington North seat as an independent MP, said he is “appalled by the ongoing loss of life,” telling the Star: “Another day, another war crime.

“What kind of world are we living in when this kind of horror becomes part of our weekly or even daily routine?

“How have we allowed these atrocities to become so normalised?

“A school is a place of learning, growth and joy. In Gaza, they have been turned into a place of death, trauma and grief.”

Mr Corbyn vowed to continue to speak up for a ceasefire, the end to arms sales to Israel and “the only path to a just and lasting peace: the end to the occupation of Palestine.”
