An Israeli air attack on a UN-run school sheltering displaced Palestinians in central Gaza’s Nuseirat camp killed at least 40 people, mainly women and children, according to local government officials.

The raid on Thursday came after the military announced a new ground and air assault in several refugee camps in central Gaza.

Palestinian group Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, condemned the predawn attack as a “horrible massacre”.
