**GAZA CITY, Sept. 12, 2024** – An Israeli airstrike on a school in central Gaza, being used as a shelter for displaced Palestinians, has killed 18 people, including six United Nations staff members, according to the Hamas-run civil defense agency.
The airstrike, which occurred on Tuesday, has drawn immediate condemnation from the international community. The United Nations has expressed deep sorrow over the deaths of its staff and called for an independent investigation into the incident.
The school, located in the densely populated Jabalia refugee camp, was serving as a temporary home for hundreds of Palestinians who had fled their homes during the ongoing conflict. The airstrike has further fueled tensions in the region and raised concerns about the safety of civilians in Gaza.
