An Israeli air strike on a UNRWA school in Gaza has killed at least 37 people, according to a hospital in Gaza, which said that the death toll is expected to continue to rise.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al Balah said it had received "37 martyrs" from the strike on the school, updating an earlier figure of 27 given by the Gaza media office.
The Israeli army alleged that a fighter jet had conducted a "precise strike on a Hamas compound embedded inside a UNRWA school in the area of Nuseirat".
An Israeli strike also targeted neighbourhoods in the east and central city of Rafah, with the military also shelling homes east of Khan Yunis.
