Tragedy struck in Gaza City on Sunday as at least 11 Palestinians were killed in a devastating Israeli airstrike on Safad School, a shelter for displaced people. The attack, which targeted the Zeitoun neighborhood, left several others injured and in critical condition. Witnesses described the scene as horrific, with the bodies of the victims torn apart due to the intensity of the bombing.
Despite warnings and evacuations, the school could not escape the wrath of the Israeli offensive, resulting in the destruction of one of its buildings where hundreds sought refuge. This heartbreaking incident adds to the mounting death toll in Gaza, with over 40,700 Palestinians losing their lives, primarily women and children. The ongoing blockade has plunged the region into a humanitarian crisis, with shortages of essential supplies exacerbating the situation.
As the world watches in horror, accusations of genocide loom over Israel’s actions. The International Court of Justice has intervened, ordering a halt to military operations and demanding justice for the innocent lives lost. It’s a grim reminder of the harsh realities faced by the Palestinian people, as they continue to endure unimaginable suffering in the midst of conflict and devastation.
