The attack which killed over 100 people by the most recent count, with that number expected to rise as al-Ahli Hospital struggles to cope with the severe injuries that resulted from the attack.
Gaza’s government media office has released a statement condemning Israel.
The statement read in full “The Israeli occupation army commits a massacre inside the al-Tabin School in Gaza City, which claimed the lives of more than 100 martyrs and dozens of injuries.
This clearly comes within the framework of the crime of genocide and ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people.
The occupation army directly bombed the displaced people while they were performing the dawn prayer, and this caused the number of martyrs to rise rapidly.
Due to the horror of the massacre and the large number of martyrs, medical teams, civil defence, and relief and emergency teams have not been able to recover the bodies of all the martyrs so far.
We condemn in the strongest terms the occupation’s perpetration of this horrific massacre, and we call on the whole world to condemn it.
We hold the Israeli occupation and the American administration fully responsible for this massacre.
We call on the international community and international organisations to put pressure on the occupation to stop the crime of genocide and ethnic cleansing against civilians and displaced persons in the Gaza Strip and to stop the cascade of blood flowing in the Gaza Strip.
There is no immediate comments from the Israel official on the said allegations.
