In a separate incident, an Israeli bombing in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza claimed the lives of five people.
According to the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), the Israeli military has targeted 69 percent of school buildings used as shelters for forcibly displaced individuals in the Gaza Strip.
The agency noted, “69% of school buildings where displaced families were seeking shelter have been directly hit or damaged,” as reported by the Global Education Cluster, which coordinates humanitarian efforts in education during internal displacements.
“This blatant disregard of humanitarian law must stop. We need a ceasefire now,” the agency emphasized.
