Tragedy struck in Gaza as at least 41 people, including 13 children, lost their lives in Israeli strikes on Sunday. The violence escalated with 22 people killed in attacks on Al Mufti school in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp. The school, serving as a shelter for over 5,000 displaced individuals, became a target for the strikes.
Heart-wrenching scenes unfolded at hospitals as medical teams tried in vain to save an infant brought in with injuries. The infant, along with other victims, was mournfully carried to the morgue by grieving family members. The toll of the attacks also extended to northern Gaza, where five children playing marbles in Al Shati camp fell victim to an Israeli airstrike.
Footage capturing the aftermath of the strikes showed children being rushed to hospitals, their faces bloodied from the attacks. The devastating impact of the violence was further highlighted as heartbroken family members bid farewell to the deceased children, wrapped in shrouds.
Further casualties were reported in the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps, where families seeking shelter were tragically caught in the crossfire. The loss of innocent lives, particularly children, has sparked outrage and calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities.
The situation remains dire in Gaza, with civilians bearing the brunt of the conflict. International organizations have condemned the attacks and urged for a peaceful resolution to prevent further loss of life.
