Israeli forces have unleashed a series of deadly strikes on schools in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of over 50 Palestinians and injuring countless others. The UN has reported that the Israeli military has significantly damaged or destroyed a majority of Gaza’s schools since October.
The most recent attack occurred at a shelter for displaced people near a school in Khan Yunis, where 29 Palestinians lost their lives. This comes after airstrikes on a UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) school and a Gaza City school, resulting in additional fatalities.
Video footage captured the harrowing moment when Israeli forces bombed the Khan Yunis school while Palestinians were playing soccer in the compound. The strikes have left a trail of devastation and chaos, with the children of Gaza bearing the brunt of the violence.
Despite international condemnation, Israel continues to target schools in Gaza, depriving children of their right to education and safety. The ongoing assault has left over 600,000 children without access to schooling, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
The UN has warned that the future of an entire generation of Palestinian children is at risk due to Israel’s relentless attacks on schools. Urgent action is needed to prevent further loss of life and ensure the protection of innocent civilians.
