GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- 10 Palestinians were killed on Sunday after Israeli shells hit a UN school in Rafah where thousands of people were sheltering from the ongoing Israeli offensive.
At least 30 were injured in the strike, according to Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra.
Separately, a spokesman for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said initial reports suggested there had been a shelling near a school housing almost 3,000 people.
The strikes brought Sunday morning's death toll in Gaza to 47, as Israeli forces have pounded the besieged coastal enclave relentlessly by land, sea, and air. More than 1,749 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched its assault.
Israel has shelled UN shelters for the displaced at least six times so far since the conflict began four weeks ago, killing dozens. more
