At least 20 Palestinian civilians, including women and children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced individuals in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, this morning.
Local sources reported that Israeli warplanes targeted the school, located west of Deir al-Balah, resulting in dozens of casualties. Emergency services and civil defense teams are currently working to recover victims from the rubble. The death toll is expected to rise as search and rescue operations continue, with many others suffering severe injuries.
The injured have been transported to Al-Aqsa Hospital, which is now overwhelmed with casualties. The hospital staff is struggling to manage the influx of injured people as the situation remains critical.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been conducting a genocidal aggression in the Gaza Strip, which has resulted in the deaths of 39,175 individuals, the majority of whom are women and children. An additional 90,403 people have been injured, according to preliminary figures. Thousands remain trapped under debris, with rescue and medical teams unable to reach many of the victims.
The ongoing genocidal aggression has left Gaza in a state of humanitarian crisis, with widespread destruction and a severe shortage of medical supplies and resources. (ILKHA)
