• Middle East crisis – live updates

At least 17 people including several children have been killed in Israeli bombing of a school turned shelter in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, medics in the territory have said.

The strike, the latest bombing of a school sheltering displaced people across Gaza, came as the Qatari television network Al Jazeera accused Israel of turning its journalists reporting from north Gaza into targets after the Israeli military claims a day earlier that six reporters were members of Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
