Destruction and Hope: The Gasp for Peace in Gaza

At least 17 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a school in Nuseirat camp, central Gaza. The military targeted a Hamas control centre, amidst ongoing operations in Gaza. With humanitarian crisis deepening, international calls for a ceasefire remain unmet as the conflict nears its second year.

A devastating Israeli strike on a school in Nuseirat camp, central Gaza, resulted in the death of at least 17 Palestinians, including children seeking refuge from ongoing conflict, Nuseirat's Al-Awda hospital confirmed.

The Israeli military stated it aimed at a Hamas command centre located within the old school compound. This strike is part of ongoing military operations in Gaza, with particular intensity around the town of Jabalia, where evacuations and arrests of suspected militants continue.

Despite international pressure for a ceasefire following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the fighting persists. Health services are collapsing under Israeli attacks, as hospitals run out of supplies and refuse evacuation orders, heightening fears of a humanitarian disaster.
