According to a Palestinian medic, at least 27 people were killed and 93 were injured in an Israeli raid on a United Nations school in Gaza on Thursday. According to a doctor at a hospital in the camp who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the attack damaged a UN-run school where hundreds of displaced Palestinians were hiding in Jabalia, Gaza's biggest refugee camp. The Israeli military made no quick reaction.

According to the Palestinian party Hamas, at least 30 people were murdered and 100 others were injured in an Israeli bombardment on a UN-run school in northern Gaza on thursday evening.

According to Hamas, the strike was directed against the UNRWA-sponsored Abu Hussein school in the Jabalia refugee camp.

According to the official news agency Wafa, at least 27 people were murdered and 93 others were injured at the school, which housed many displaced Gazans.

The Israeli army has yet to respond to the claim.

The incident occurred only hours before a humanitarian truce between israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip is supposed to begin at 7 a.m. local time (0500GMT) on Friday.

Following a cross-border raid by Hamas on Oct. 7, israel began a barrage of air and ground operations on the Gaza Strip, killing more than 14,854 Palestinians, including 6,150 children and over 4,000 women, according to health officials in the enclave.

According to official numbers, the Israeli death toll is over 1,200.
