Speaking to reporters during a campaign stop in Phoenix, US presidential nominee Kamala Harris has reiterated calls for a “hostage deal and a ceasefire” in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

When asked for her reaction to Israel’s attack on a school compound in Gaza City, which has killed more than 100 people, the US vice president said, “Yet again, far too many civilians have been killed.”

At least “11 children and six women” are confirmed as being among the dead, according to Palestinian Civil Defence spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal.

Israel has claimed, without providing evidence, that it killed 19 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad fighters in Saturday’s attack, and that the death toll has been inflated.
