# Israel’s Gaza strikes kill scores as schools and homes come under attack
*Event date: 2024-12-14*
Israeli strikes across Gaza killed at least 52 people over the course of a day, including people sheltering in schools, homes and tents, according to the supplied Al Jazeera report.
The deadliest account in the excerpt came from Gaza City, where Wafa reported that seven people were killed in a strike on Al-Majida Wasila School in the Al-Rimal neighborhood. Elsewhere, dawn raids killed four members of the Saadallah family in Jabalia, two people in a school northeast of Gaza City, and one person sheltering in a tent south of Khan Younis.
The same report said a drone attack on civilians at Jalaa Junction northwest of Gaza City killed one woman and injured others, while another civilian died in an airstrike west of Nuseirat camp. A further drone strike on the Al-Mawasi area west of Rafah wounded five people.
The reporting also linked the day’s violence to the previous day’s strike on Nuseirat camp, in which at least 36 people were killed, most of them from the al-Sheikh Ali family. In northern Gaza, where the siege had tightened further over the preceding two months, Israeli forces were said to have blown up buildings and burned homes around Beit Lahiya while firing at Kamal Adwan Hospital.
The health-care pressure was central to the report. Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum said overnight attacks had injured medical staff and set an ambulance ablaze near Kamal Adwan, and that Israeli forces were trying to take ambulances out of service. That account added to a pattern of strikes around hospitals and medical teams struggling to keep operating under siege.
Muhannad Hadi, the United Nations humanitarian coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territory, warned in a statement that the security and humanitarian situation was deteriorating rapidly. He said multiple strikes across Gaza had caused scores of fatalities and injuries and noted that women and children continued to be among the casualties.
Taken together, the supplied evidence shows a day of overlapping strikes on schools, homes and medical infrastructure, with the human toll spread across several areas of the Strip. It also shows how the bombardment was unfolding alongside a deepening siege in the north and repeated warnings from aid officials about the cost to civilians.
The event date for this report is 2024-12-14, but the violence described in the excerpt came as part of the broader war and the continuing assault on Gaza. The details in the packet support a clear conclusion: the latest strikes added to an already severe civilian death toll while leaving hospitals, shelters and homes under renewed pressure.
