According to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, Israel has bombed 16 shelter schools in the Gaza Strip since the start of August, 15 of them in northern Gaza.

These attacks resulted in the deaths of at least 217 displaced Palestinians and the injury of hundreds.

Euro-Med reports that this comes as part of Israel's dangerous escalation in systematically targeting schools housing displaced Palestinians without prior warning.

Yesterday night, Israel bombed the Halima al-Saadia school in northern Gaza's Jabalia, killing at least 4 displaced Palestinians.

This came hours after targeting the Amr Ibn al-Aas school in Gaza City, killing at least four others – one of them a child.
