Four strikes in four days on schools in Gaza have killed dozens of people as Israel's war with Hamas rages.
At least 25 people were killed and dozens more wounded in the fourth strike on or near a school in the Gaza Strip in just four days, health officials in the enclave said late Tuesday.
Dozens of people were gathered outside the Al-Awda school, in Abasan, a city in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis governorate, when the strike hit, witnesses told NBC News’ crew shortly after the attack. Some of them were watching a soccer match, they said.
Footage released by Al Jazeera and authenticated by NBC News showed a game being played in the school's courtyard before a blast rings out. As screams ring out, people dash in all directions.
Shortly afterward, an NBC News crew filmed bloodied patients, including young children, filling the hallways. Many were lying on the ground, wailing in agony.
“I was walking, when suddenly I found myself flying,” Ahmed Wessam Kediah, 14, said as he lay on a stretcher, his bloodied leg wrapped in bandages. “I saw all the wounded. Just body parts.”
