The intensified military operation in Gaza, ongoing since October 7, 2023, has devastated civilian infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, and residential areas.
At dawn on Wednesday, Israeli airstrikes targeted a school housing displaced Palestinians in the Al-Bureij camp in central Gaza, resulting in at least 15 tents catching fire, Al-Jazeera reported.
One person was killed and several others were injured during the attack, which targeted a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) shelter.
In a separate incident, Israeli warplanes bombed a home in the Abu Areef area of Deir al-Balah, killing a Palestinian woman and injuring others.
Strikes were also reported in the Nuseirat and Bureij camps, along with heavy aerial bombardments east of Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza.

Ongoing Genocide
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza.
Currently on trial before the International Court of Justice for genocide against Palestinians, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 44,500 Palestinians have been killed, and 105,454 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7, 2023.
Moreover, at least 11,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Israel says that 1,200 soldiers and civilians were killed during the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation on October 7. Israeli media published reports suggesting that many Israelis were killed on that day by ‘friendly fire’.

Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli war has resulted in an acute famine, mostly in northern Gaza, resulting in the death of many Palestinians, mostly children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
Later in the war, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians began moving from the south to central Gaza in a constant search for safety.
