📽️ WATCH: Independent MP Zali Steggall has accused the Coalition of whipping up fear and told the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, to “stop being racist”, amid fierce debate in parliament over the granting of visas to Palestinians fleeing the conflict in Gaza. https://www.theguardian.com/p/xv97en?CMP=soc_567

“There is no more life,” said witness Rushdi Kodeih after an Israeli airstrike on the entrance of a school-turned-shelter in southern Gaza killed at least 31 people.
The airstrike on Tuesday afternoon hit the tents of displaced families outside a school in the town of Abassan, east of Khan Younis. Officials at the nearby Nasser hospital said on Wednesday that 31 people had been killed, including eight children, and more than 50 wounded.
Footage broadcast by Al Jazeera showed people playing football in the school’s yard when a sudden boom shook the area, prompting shouts of “a strike, a strike!”
The Israeli military said it was reviewing reports that civilians were harmed. It said the incident occurred when it struck with “precise munition” a Hamas fighter who took part in the 7 October raid on Israel that precipitated the Israeli assault on Gaza.
The area was crowded at the time of the attack. Watch this video to hear three eyewitness accounts.
