According to the Palestinian government in Gaza, the Israel occupation forces (IOF) have targeted 160 schools since the beginning of the war on Gaza.
"160 schools have been bombed, with 19 of them ceasing operation," the statement read.
Since the start of the escalations, the IOF has been targeting several schools where families were finding shelter.
UNRWA-affiliated schools were not exempt from the aggression as the primary goal of the IOF operation was to depopulate the northern part of Gaza.
Earlier in the day, Gaza's health ministry reported that the IOF had targeted 19 healthcare facilities in the area.
Latest estimates reveal that the death toll has risen to 3,750, including 1,524 children, 1,000 women, and 120 elderly people.
Furthermore, the targeting of health personnel has resulted in the deaths of 44 and the injury of 70.
