UPDATES with second strike
An official of the health ministry in the Gaza Strip said more than 80 people were killed on Saturday in double Israeli strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp.
"At least 50 people" were killed in an Israeli strike at dawn on the UN-run Al-Fakhura school in the camp, which had been converted into a shelter for displaced Palestinians, the official told AFP.
Social media videos -- which AFP was not able to verify -- showed bodies covered in blood and dust on the floor of a building, where mattresses had been wedged under school tables.
A separate strike on another building in the camp on Saturday killed 32 people from the same family, 19 of them children, the health ministry official said.
The ministry released a list of 32 members of the Abu Habal family it said had died.
Jabalia is the biggest refugee camp in Gaza, where some 1.6 million have been displaced by more than six weeks of fighting between Israel and Hamas.

Hiding in UN schools in Gaza & using them as "shields" finally documented..
Israeli Snipers are shooting at targets from UN school classrooms! IOF soldiers/Cowards are using a UN school as a base to hide & shelter in! If this was the other way around, there would be an outpouring of condemnations & non-stop media coverage. But for now only absolute silence!
