At least 20 people have died and many more are injured following an Israeli airstrike on a school in Gaza. This tragic event occurred in the Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City, where the school was being used as a shelter for those who had fled from previous attacks.
Health authorities reported the casualties, which included women and children. Many of the victims were taken to al Shifa and al Ahli hospitals, where medical staff described the scene as horrific. Eyewitnesses fear that more victims may still be trapped under the rubble of the building.
There has been no immediate response from the Israeli military regarding this attack. The airstrike is part of a broader military campaign that has escalated since early May, aimed at dismantling Hamas’s military capabilities and recovering hostages taken during a surprise attack on Israel on October 7.
The ongoing violence has drawn strong international reactions. A British doctor working in Gaza criticized world leaders for their complicity in the suffering of the Palestinian people. He expressed deep frustration over the lack of understanding from politicians who are far removed from the realities on the ground.
In another heart-wrenching incident, a medical charity leader spoke about the devastating loss of a doctor’s nine children in a recent airstrike. The challenges of providing medical care in Gaza have become nearly impossible due to the ongoing bombardments and the dire lack of resources.
The situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with reports of mounting casualties and destruction. The humanitarian crisis has prompted calls for action from various organizations, but the political landscape remains complicated. As the conflict persists, the toll on the civilian population grows, raising urgent questions about the future of the region and the lives of those caught in the crossfire.
