At least 16 killed in Israeli attack on UN school serving as shelter in Gaza

At least 16 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli attack on a United Nations-run school sheltering displaced people in the Gaza Strip, the Gaza Government Media Office said. The deadly assault is part of Israel’s ongoing bombardment of the besieged coastal territory.

The attack on the UN school in Nuseirat Refugee Camp highlights the dire humanitarian crisis facing the people of Gaza, who have been subjected to relentless bombing and violence. This latest incident underscores the urgent need for international intervention to protect civilians and bring an end to the violence in the region.

Al Jazeera’s Aksel Zaimovic reports on the devastating impact of the Israeli attack on the UN school, which has resulted in the loss of innocent lives and further escalation of tensions in the Middle East conflict. The targeting of a shelter for displaced people is a clear violation of international law and a tragic reminder of the suffering endured by the people of Gaza.

The Gaza Government Media Office has condemned the attack and called for accountability for the loss of life. As the situation in Gaza remains volatile, it is imperative that the international community takes decisive action to address the root causes of the conflict and ensure the protection of civilians in the region.
