Gaza City, May 13 (RHC)-- In northern Gaza, survivors say displaced Palestinians were asleep when Israeli forces carried out the attack which killed 17 Palestinians sheltering at the Fatima Bint Asad School.
“We rushed outside to our neighbours and saw fire raging and spreading everywhere. With us were also displaced families who had nothing left,” one person told Al Jazeera. “As we looked to the other side, we discovered numerous martyrs. They had struck the classroom without any prior warning – it was a school classroom – and as a result, 17 innocent lives were lost. These were young, innocent children.”
