Some 30 others are wounded as Palestinians are forced to evacuate Khan Younis once again.
Israeli strikes on two schools in Gaza have killed at least 15 Palestinians and injured another 30, as renewed evacuation orders are given to residents in several districts in eastern Khan Younis city.
Many Palestinians remained trapped underneath the rubble of the schools – Abdel Fattah Hamoud and al-Zahraa – sheltering Palestinian families in the Tuffah district of Gaza City, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reported on Thursday.
Reporting from the destroyed al-Zahraa School, Palestinian journalist Ibrahim al-Khalili told Al Jazeera that two missiles directly hit the school. He said civil defence crews have so far been unable to rescue the survivors trapped underneath due to a lack of tools.
“The situation is catastrophic,” he said.
