"*I was sitting here with my friend Diyaa Hamada (points to the man in a wheelchair) who's been injured since 7 months ago. We've been staying here with my uncle at this school. We were gathered around a bowl of rice eating when, half a minute later, the bomb struck. We thought we were injured, but thank God who saved us.

*We are originally from Jabalia camp, displaced from Al-Faluja where our house was. May God have mercy on the martyrs. My wife was martyred 2 weeks ago at Hafsa school, along with my father and my uncles. I'm not alone; all families have martyrs who were killed. There's just no safe place in all of Gaza. I mean, my sister was injured yesterday and is at Al-Awda hospital, and today the Israelis are besieging the hospital. North Gaza is facing a world war. But we in the north will remain steadfast here until we die. There's no way we will leave. Yes, some people may have left out of fear, starvation, and the pressure of living conditions, and we don't blame them. I want to thank all those who remain steadfast in northern Gaza. And even if we were to be martyred, that would be a blessing from God, and even better so I can rejoin my wife."

At midday, Israeli strikes targeted the UNRWA's 'Asma Bent Abi Bakr' school, Al Shati Camp west of Gaza City. The school houses an UNRWA medical point that provides services to residents from different areas of Gaza City, especially pregnant women, and the are usually people there.

At least 8 people were killed. Many were found torn to shreds in footage captured by journalist Hossam Shabat.
