At least five Palestinians have been killed after Israeli strikes hit two separate schools run by the United Nations in the Gaza Strip.
According to medics and UN officials, two people were killed in a strike on a school in the southern of Khan Yunis and three people were killed in an air strike on a school in Gaza City on Tuesday.
Hundreds of Palestinians have taken refuge at UN schools to escape the raining fire on Gaza.
The identities of the victims have not been revealed yet.
Both schools are run by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
Israel remains defiant of mounting calls for an end to its attacks on the populated coastal strip where an Israeli blockade has starved 1.5 people almost to death despite pro-Gaza protests across the world.
