The Israeli occupation has carried out another deadly assault on a school housing displaced Palestinians in northern Gaza as they gathered for lunch.
In the Jabalia refugee camp, the IOF bombed the Abu Hussein school murdering at least 28 and injuring another 160 according to Gaza's government media office.
The strike caused fires to break out in tents placed in the yard. According to a medical source, some of the injured are in severe condition.
Several martyrs were transported to Kamal Adwan and Al-Awda hospitals, according to two medical sources.
Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas strongly condemned the latest Israeli attack, calling it a "repeated crime" in the criminal plans of Zionism to forcibly displace Palestinians.
According to Hamas, northern Gaza has been "exposed to the Holocaust, genocide, and systematic displacement of Palestinians in front of the eyes of the world," questioning international organizations' silence in response to Israeli crimes and massacres.
Tragedies continue to unfold across the Strip as the siege continues for the 13th consecutive day, during which residents are deprived of access to basic needs for survival.
Oxfam and 37 other humanitarian groups issued a joint statement on Wednesday, saying the Israeli bombardment had reached a "horrifying level of atrocity" and that the northern part of the Strip is "being wiped off of the map."
"Under the guise of 'evacuation', Israeli forces have ordered the forced displacement of an estimated 400,000 Palestinians trapped in northern Gaza, including Gaza City," according to the NGOs.
Ethnic cleansing plan underway in North Gaza, Israeli soldiers reveal
Israeli media reports indicate that a plan is in progress to ethnically cleanse northern Gaza and eliminate any Palestinians who remain there.
Israeli reserve soldiers stationed in Gaza informed Haaretz this week that they believe the "Generals' Plan", also known as the "Eiland Plan" is being put into action.
“The goal is to give the residents who live north of the Netzarim area a deadline to move to the south of the Strip. After this date, whoever will remain in the North will be considered an enemy and will be killed,” a soldier stationed in the Netzarim Corridor was quoted as saying.
The soldier stated that the plan does not adhere to any standards of international law.
“People sat and wrote a systematic order with charts and an operational concept, at the end of which you shoot whoever isn’t willing to leave. The very existence of this idea is unfathomable.”
On Wednesday, the report stated that there are indications that, although the policy may not yet have been formally adopted by senior military officials who are reportedly discussing it, the plan is already underway.
Haaretz journalist Amos Harel wrote, "Ideas such as intentionally firing near a population and even measures aimed at starving the inhabitants are currently being discussed."
Major international aid organizations have urged leaders and the global community to put an end to "Israel's" forced displacement in northern Gaza.
