The site in Nuseirat camp was hit by a volley of artillery on Sunday, killing whole families and wounding many more, Gaza’s Civil Defence Agency disclosed.
According to bbc.com:
A civil defence spokesman said the attack on al-Mufti school, where hundreds of displaced people from around Gaza were sheltering, had injured at least 80 people and more than a dozen were killed.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, said the school-turned-shelter was meant to be used to administer polio vaccines.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it was looking into the reports.
