A devastating airstrike in northern Gaza has struck a school sheltering displaced families, killing at least 10 people. Eyewitnesses reported that the Yafa School in the Tuffah area of Gaza City was engulfed in flames, with tents and classrooms burning as survivors searched desperately for their belongings. 😢
In a related incident, a missile hit the upper building of the Durra Children's Hospital in Gaza City, damaging its intensive care unit and destroying the solar panel system that powers the facility. While no fatalities were reported from the hospital strike, the damage adds to the mounting challenges in a region already reeling from sustained attacks.
Local medics confirm that separate airstrikes across the enclave have taken more lives, contributing to an overall toll that now stands at 20 on this tragic day. Since the collapse of a ceasefire on March 18, over 1,600 Palestinians have lost their lives, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. Rescue teams continue to struggle amid the rubble and relentless bombardments, as essential machinery and vehicles used for clearing debris have also been targeted.
This unfolding humanitarian crisis resonates deeply with communities worldwide, especially young, socially conscious audiences in South and Southeast Asia who understand the importance of unity and global empathy. As news of these strikes circulates on digital platforms, it reminds us all to stay informed and support efforts to protect innocent lives during these turbulent times.
Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops, and let’s continue to share verified information to aid in humanitarian relief. 🙏
