In a cruel move, Israel’s airstrike has targeted United Nations officials and UNSC affiliated school in the central Gaza Strip of Palestine, which reportedly left at least 37 Palestinians dead, including women and children. At the same time, over a hundred were injured, according to official reports and Palestinian media.
The Al-Sardi school that housed thousands of Palestinian refugees in the Nuseirat refugee camp early Thursday was targeted in a pre-dawn blitz. Palestinian’s Wafa news agency reported the incident, stating that when the school was bombed, it was accommodating many displaced persons, given that it was managed by the UNRWA.
Al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza said that it had received 37 bodies of people who were killed in the attack and said the wounded are overloading the facility, Al-Aqsa Hospital, which is already found teeming with three times its capacity.
The formulation of ideologies was put to practice by the governing authority in Gaza – Hamas – that criticized the strike as a “horrible massacre”; they charged that the Israelis are engaged in “genocide and ethnic cleansing. ” The Israeli military also pointed to the irresponsibility of the bombing as it was aimed at a “Hamas compound” that housed the school.
The recent incident has occurred at a time when the intensity of the Israeli attack is increasing sharply, as Al Jazeera has said that over 102 Palestinian people have been killed in the past day. Fundamental in this regard is the organization Doctors Without Borders, which depicted the situation in Yemen as “apocalyptic” and the health sector, in particular, as being close to a breakdown.
While international diplomacy remains active in efforts aimed at finding ways of enforcing a truce, the toll that the conflict takes on the lives of ordinary people is escalating, with the citizens of Gaza living through inconceivable misery.
