After Israeli airstrikes on a school and a humanitarian zone, survivors and officials tell of a ‘daily vision of horror’

More than 38,500 people have been killed in Gaza since the Israeli invasion began nine months ago. The invasion followed Hamas’s surprise attacks in Israel, during which 1,200 people were killed and 250 others abducted.

The surge in violence came amid a further round of ceasefire talks that were paused by Hamas after Saturday’s strike. Israel accuses Hamas of using Gaza’s population as a human shield, a charge the Islamist militant group denies.
