At least 30 people, mostly children, have been killed and many others injured in Israeli strikes on two United Nations-run schools in Gaza City. The schools were being used as shelters for displaced Palestinians. The attacks are part of an ongoing conflict in the region, with the Israeli military claiming that the schools were being used by Hamas for military purposes, a claim denied by reporters on the ground. Palestinian civilians have been forced to flee multiple times due to the violence, with no safe place in Gaza remaining. Israel has been accused of targeting civilians systematically, causing severe casualties and trauma.
The Israeli military has issued new orders for Palestinians to evacuate certain areas in Gaza, warning of high risks for those who remain. The United Nations has reported that more than 86 percent of Gaza has been impacted by Israeli evacuation orders, with many people forced to live in small “safe zones” that are repeatedly targeted by attacks. The Health Ministry in Gaza has reported thousands of deaths and injuries from the conflict, with both sides suffering casualties.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with the population facing increasing violence and displacement. The international community has condemned the violence and called for a ceasefire to protect civilians caught in the middle of the conflict. The escalating violence has caused widespread devastation and loss of life, with no end in sight to the cycle of violence in the region.
