Live updates: Follow the latest on Israel-GazaAt least 22 people were killed on Thursday in an Israeli strike on a school housing displaced families in Jabalia camp in northern Gaza that has been under siege for about two weeks. The strike hit the Abu Hussein school, run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, in the camp. Footage on social media showed flames spreading from tent to tent as the injured were carried out on carts. “Most of the injured in the school attack are in critical condition, and the bodies … arrived in pieces,” Fares Afaneh, head of the ambulance services in northern Gaza, said. Israel has cut off the northern strip from the rest of Gaza with no food, water, medication, or aid entering since October 1.
