Middle East

NPR -  Israeli troops have launched a new ground and air offensive in central Gaza, where many Palestinians have fled in recent weeks from Rafah in the south. A predawn strike hit a U.N.-run school that had been sheltering displaced families. At least 140 Palestinians have been killed in the past two days.  Israel says its ground troops are operating in a limited manner, and its air force is targeting Hamas, NPR's Kat Lonsdorf reports on Up First. But NPR’s producer on the ground, Anas Baba, says the area has been pummeled. Karin Huster of Doctors Without Borders tells NPR that "the situation is apocalyptic."
