Strikes Kill 43 In Gaza As UN School Hit

At least 43 people have been killed in Gaza, including many at a UN school, during another night of heavy shelling, medics said.

Dozens of people, including a young child, were killed in the early hours of Wednesday, as the conflict between Israel and Hamas entered its 23rd day.

The Jabalia refugee camp, used as a shelter for those displaced by the war, was shelled shortly after 5.30am (0230 GMT), a UN official said.

One of the shells hit a UN school being used as a shelter for those displaced by fighting, killing 20 people, emergency services spokesman Ashraf Al-Qidra said.

The shell hit the Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) girls' school, Mr Al-Qidra  said.

A UN official confirmed the shelling, saying it hit a bathroom and two classrooms in the school.

Earlier, thick black smoke could be seen rising from blazing fuel tanks at Gaza's only power station which Israel knocked out on Tuesday.

Officials said the plant could be out of action for a year.

Meanwhile, Israel's Channel Two TV said progress was being made to achieve a deal in Cairo, where a Palestinian delegation was expected to arrive for discussions.
