At least 17 people were killed in the shelling. Gunness, the spokesperson for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) told Al Jazeera, "The rights of Palestinians, and even their children, are wholesale denied... and its appalling." Gaza's Ministry of Health said at least 17 people were killed and 90 wounded by the school shelling.
