Israel Attacks School Sheltering Displaced Palestinians, Killing 10
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Gaza, at least 10 Palestinians were killed, including a child, after
an Israeli strike sparked a fire at a school sheltering displaced people
in Gaza City. They're among 24 Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes
on Gaza since dawn. Separately, civil defense workers in northern Gaza
report Israeli warplanes have blown up nine bulldozers being used in
humanitarian operations.

Khalil Nasser: "These machines serve us, removing the rubble from the
streets and retrieving the martyrs from under the rubble. At the very
least, they provide us with a room or tent above our homes. The Israeli
occupation came and destroyed them. The occupation is still causing us
harm."

On Tuesday, Gaza's Health Ministry said Israel's total blockade of Gaza
had cut off access to polio vaccines, putting the lives of over 600,000
Palestinian children at risk.
