An NBC News team captured the horror and anguish after an Israeli airstrike devastated a U.N. school in Khan Younis that was being used as a shelter for displaced Palestinians in Gaza. The Israeli military said it had targeted a command and control center used by militants.
A bearded man in a red-and-white striped top stands up, eyes wide and arms flung out, and howls. Scattered around him lie the devastated bodies of people buried in piles of rubble. Ash falls as rescuers search for survivors trapped in the wreckage, carrying small children, some limp, some struggling, some dead. The man in the red-and-white top puts his left arm around an adolescent girl, her hair and blue pajamas coated in dust. Behind them fire burns bright.
' The strike was the fourth in a series of Israeli attacks over the weekend on Gaza schools serving as shelters for displaced Palestinians, which helped push the death toll in Gaza beyond 45,000, most of them women and children, according to Palestinian health officials. Over 106,000 people have been injured, and many remain buried under the rubble, officials said.
