Reports from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza have confirmed a devastating airstrike on a school complex near Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least 19 individuals. The school complex was serving as a shelter for displaced people in the area.
The Ministry of Health's statement revealed that the attack targeted the gate of the school in the town of Abasan, east of Khan Younis. The ministry condemned the airstrike as a 'heinous massacre against displaced citizens,' highlighting the severe impact on innocent civilians seeking refuge.
Alongside the fatalities, a total of 53 individuals sustained injuries during the airstrike. The death toll is anticipated to rise as more casualties are being transported to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis for urgent medical attention, according to the ministry.
This tragic incident underscores the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with innocent civilians bearing the brunt of the violence. The international community has been called upon to address the escalating situation and work towards a peaceful resolution to prevent further loss of life.
