Palestinian sits outside UN school -- Tuesday, January 6, 2009 - 17:00AFP News Briefs List
An Israeli strike on Tuesday killed at least 40 people who had taken refuge inside a UN school in the Gaza Strip, the third such attack in a day, medics said.
The strike hit near a school run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, in the northern town of Jabaliya, they said.
People inside the building had taken refuge from the raging conflict in the territory, witnesses and medics said. The toll quickly rose as rescuers struggled through the rubble.
Earlier in the day, two people were killed when an artillery shell slammed into a school in the southern town of Khan Yunis and three people were killed in an air strike on a school in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, medics said.
