3 Min Read
Gaza's Al-Tabieen massacre is the second bloodiest seen so far, as crews have still not been able to identify all of the martyrs due to their bodies being very badly burned, or shredded beyond recognition.

Due to the severe fragmentation of the bodies, paramedics have resorted to estimating that every 70 kilograms of remains represents one martyr after the IOF bombed Al-Tabieen school massacre on Saturday. (X)
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Gaza Strip reported today, Sunday, that the Al-Tabieen school massacre in Gaza City carried out by Israeli occupation forces at dawn on Saturday, has been deemed the deadliest atrocity in northern Gaza since the Baptist Hospital massacre.
Our correspondent reported that only 75 of the victims from the massacre have been identified, while many remains belong to unidentified individuals. Due to the horrible condition of the remiains, paramedics have resorted to estimating that every 70 kilograms of remains count for one martyr.

Our correspondent further highlighted that hospitals in northern Gaza are facing a critical shortage of medical supplies and personnel, with a heavy reliance on volunteers to fill the gaps.
At least 110 Palestinians were killed in the Al-Tabieen school in Gaza City, and dozens more were injured.
As Palestinians were performing the morning prayers, Israeli warplanes struck the mosque with three airstrikes, leaving behind a hellish scene of unrecognized bodies and mass destruction.
Injuries and fatalities amid continued Israeli attacks
Israeli occupation forces intensified their airstrikes on Sunday, targeting areas in the west and center of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
Israeli airstrikes struck residential towers in Hamad City, located in the southern part of the strip, leading to five injuries and a significant displacement from the area, as reported by Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
Later, the correspondent noted that Hamad City, situated northwest of Khan Younis, was completely evacuated. Additionally, the Israeli military issued orders for the full evacuation of the al-Jala' neighborhood in Khan Younis.

In a separate incident, several Palestinians were killed and others injured in an attack on a group of residents in the Barabikha area near the Mawza intersection, east of Khan Younis.
Israeli invasion forces also deployed tear gas canisters in the al-Zanna area, east of Khan Younis.
In central Gaza, a Palestinian woman was killed, and several others were injured in an Israeli bombardment targeting a home west of the al-Nuseirat refugee camp.
Collapse of healthcare system in Gaza
In a related context, the Ministry of Health announced the martyrdom of approximately 500 health sector personnel and the injury of hundreds since the start of the Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza on October 7, 2023.
The ministry added, in its statement, that "Israel" has arrested over 310 medical staff and destroyed 130 ambulances in Gaza.
It noted that the systematic targeting of medical infrastructure by IOF has deprived citizens of access to basic healthcare services.
The ministry further stated that poor water and sanitation conditions, along with overcrowding, have led to an increase in preventable diseases and early deaths.
It highlighted that Gaza is facing a public health disaster due to unsafe water resources and a lack of basic sanitation needs for over 1.7 million forcibly displaced people.
