An Israeli strike on an Unrwa school killed at least 32 people in the Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza, according to the Wafa news agency.
The school was reportedly housing thousands of displaced people, most of whom were women and children.
The Israeli army said the school contained a Hamas compound, and that its strike killed fighters involved in the 7 October attack on Israel.
The Gaza government’s media office strongly rejected these claims.
“The occupation uses lying to the public opinion through false fabricated stories to justify the brutal crime it conducted against dozens of displaced people,” Ismail al-Thawabta, the director of the media office, told Reuters.
