Hamas-run health authorities in the Gaza Strip say at least 20 people were killed and dozens were wounded when an Israeli strike hit a school housing displaced people a short while ago.

Medics say the dozens of casualties in the strike on the school, at Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City, included women and children, although these figures could not be verified.

Some of the bodies were badly burned according to images circulating on social media, which Reuters cannot immediately verify.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
