In Gaza City, Palestine, a devastating airstrike by Israeli forces hit the Khadija School in Deir al-Balah. This tragic event resulted in the deaths of 31 Palestinians, including 15 children and 8 women, and left 100 others injured. The school also served as a field hospital and shelter for thousands of displaced people.

The Israeli military admitted to targeting the school, claiming it housed a Hamas command center. However, Hamas condemned the strike, stating that the school was home to many innocent civilians, mainly women and children.

Throughout the ongoing conflict, the Israeli military has urged Palestinians to move to designated safe zones. Unfortunately, these areas have also been attacked, sparking condemnation from international organizations and governments.

Since the conflict began on October 7, nearly 39,300 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have lost their lives, and about 90,600 have been injured. Gaza remains devastated, with vast areas in ruins and a severe shortage of food, clean water, and medicine.

Israel has faced accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which recently ordered it to stop its military actions in Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge.
