In the aftermath of the aggression, the Gaza Government Media Office warned that the death toll may continue to rise and condemned Israeli forces for targeting civilian displacement centers, including schools that house tens of thousands of displaced persons.
Gaza authorities noted that this attack contradicts "Israel's" claims of safe zones and points to the deliberate nature of the violence, aimed at maximizing casualties amid continued US support for the aggressions.
They further drew attention to the dire humanitarian crisis which has been fueled by the destruction of the health system and hospitals as a result of Israeli aggressions.

The Office called on the international community and the UN to take action against the ongoing genocide, holding both the Israeli occupation and the US responsible for systematic massacres.
Hamas has likewise issued a statement condemning the massacre as part of a broader pattern of atrocities committed by Israeli forces during its ongoing aggression on Gaza.
