A hospital source in southern Gaza says at least 10 people have been killed in a strike on a school turned shelter for displaced Palestinians.

The source from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis says that the Al-Awda school in the city was hit, leaving 10 dead and dozens wounded.

Other reports say that the strike hit tents set up outside the school, which is located in Abassan on the outskirts of Khan Younis.

There was no immediate comment from Israel. Last week the IDF told those in that area of Gaza to evacuate.
