Israeli Attack on UN-Run School in Gaza Leaves 16 Palestinians Dead
Amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza, at least 16 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack on an UN-run school sheltering displaced people in the besieged territory. The Government Media Office of Gaza reported over 75 additional injuries in the bombing of al-Jaouni school in Nuseirat refugee camp.
The relentless assaults on civilians, including women and children, have sparked condemnation from authorities. The UNRWA-operated facility in Nuseirat is the latest school targeted by Israeli forces since the conflict began in early October, resulting in a death toll exceeding 38,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Footage from the scene depicted the harrowing aftermath, showcasing twisted metal, pools of blood, and injured individuals being rushed to hospitals for treatment. Families seeking refuge at the school faced dire circumstances, highlighting the pervasive sense of insecurity amidst the Israeli bombardments.
The repetitive attacks on UN facilities raise significant humanitarian concerns, prompting global outcry for an end to the violence. The tragic events reverberate the deep-seated trauma and devastation experienced by innocent civilians caught in the crossfire of this long-standing conflict.
