Dozens of Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in new Israeli attacks targeting civilian infrastructure in northern Gaza, including a school hosting displaced people.
According to local Palestinian media reports, the targets included a school hosting displaced Palestinians in a school in al-Faluja, an area west of Jabalia, in northern Gaza on Tuesday morning.
In overnight raids, the Israeli army bombed nine homes in Beit Lahia town in the north of the Gaza Strip, causing casualties.
And, at least 25 Palestinians were killed in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.
Meanwhile, the reports also said that telecom services were completely cut off in Gaza City, and areas in the northern Gaza Strip, following the Israeli bombing of the telecom towers.
This comes amid a complete cut-off of communication and internet services in the areas of Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, as Israel targets communications towers.
The Palestinian Ministry of Education has called on countries and institutions across the world to protect the right of Palestinian children to life and education in the face of Israeli atrocities.
The ministry made the call on the occasion of World Children’s Day. It said the killing of children and students in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank violates all norms and conventions.
Iran’s foreign minister has also called for immediate and practical international measures to protect the lives of Palestinian children. Israel has killed more than 5,600 children, including 3,000 students, in the war on Gaza since October 7.
The UN chief has warned that the blockaded territory is becoming a graveyard for children.
Algeria, and Turkey leaders condemn Israeli crimes in Gaza
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, have held talks in Algiers.
Speaking to reporters afterward, Tebboune described the situation in Gaza as “a human tragedy caused by the heinous crimes of the occupation”.
“We affirm the right of the Palestinian people to establish their state with al-Quds as its capital, on the borders of June 1967,” he said.
For his part, Erdogan accused Israel of committing war crimes and also called for a “just peace based on the two-state solution”.
It’s been over one month and a half since Israel launched its deadly war on Gaza. The regime is relentlessly pounding the besieged strip with airstrikes and shelling, keeping Palestinians there in a perpetual state of pain and suffering.
Thousands of buildings, including hospitals, mosques, and churches, have also been damaged or destroyed in Israel’s relentless air and ground attacks on the besieged enclave.
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in fresh strikes targeting civilian infrastructure.
Hospitals are not spared from Israeli bombardment either. Doctors Without Borders has expressed concern about the situation at Al-Shifa Hospital, one of the hardest-hit health facilities since the war began.
The Gaza death toll has surpassed 13,300, most of them women and children. Around 70 Israeli troops have been killed since the regime launched a ground offensive in Gaza.
