Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that 6 Palestinians were killed and others were injured in an Israeli raid on a house in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, after an attack by the occupation army on a school in which 18 people were killed, including 6 UNRWA employees, and which was met with international and European condemnation.
The correspondent added that Palestinians were killed and others were injured in Israeli artillery shelling that targeted the eastern areas of Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza Strip.
Martyrs and wounded also fell in an Israeli bombardment that targeted a house in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City. Ambulance teams transferred the bodies of the martyrs and a number of the wounded to the Baptist Hospital in Gaza.
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip documented that the Israeli occupation committed 3 massacres during the past hours, which resulted in 34 martyrs and 96 wounded.
This brings the total number of victims of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, since October 7, to 41,118 martyrs and 95,125 wounded.
Al-Jaouni School
In the same context, the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that the Gaza Strip is witnessing endless senseless killing day after day.
Lazzarini added that another school housing displaced people was bombed in Nuseirat, and that among the martyrs were 6 UNRWA employees.
The UN official explained that at least 220 UNRWA employees have been martyred since the beginning of this war.
The occupation forces launched a raid targeting Al-Jaouni School in Al-Nuseirat camp, which had previously been bombed several times, killing 18 martyrs and wounding 18 others.
In turn, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said he was outraged by the killing of six UNRWA employees, after Israeli aircraft attacked a school in Nuseirat for the fifth time.
Borrell added that ignoring the basic principles of international humanitarian law, especially the protection of civilians, cannot be accepted by the international community.
WFP Executive Director Cindy McCain also expressed “shock” at the loss of the six UNRWA staff, saying, “This is completely unacceptable and must stop,” stressing that humanitarian workers must be protected, “they are not targets.”
