‘This catastrophe must end’ in Gaza: Knesset member

Ayman Odeh, a Palestinian citizen of Israel and head of the Hadash-Ta’al list in Israel’s parliament, has said that the war on Gaza is increasing the risk of a wider regional escalation.

“The region stands, in these moments, on the brink of a precipice. At any moment, a bloody, destructive regional war can erupt. More and more pain and death. Parentless children. Parents burying children. This catastrophe must end,” he said on X.

‘We are killed by American missiles’: Nuseirat school attack survivor

Video footage verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking agency Sanad has seen a young man carry the remnants of the rockets that targeted a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

He lamented that the displaced Palestinians were being killed by Israel with American missiles. “We found children beheaded and people turned into corpses and body parts inside the school, and I cannot describe the scene from the horror of the bombing,” he said.

The footage documented the destruction and the body parts scattered in the courtyard of the school, which was crowded with displaced people.

 

Nasser Hospital in chaos after arrival of injured people from Nuseirat

There is chaos inside the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis after the arrival of a large number of critically injured people from the bombed school in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

The Israeli attack on Al-Razi middle school in the heart of the camp – such a busy area – happened during a rush hour when the streets around the overcrowded school was full of people.

The past few days have witnessed the direct, deliberate attacks on six UNRWA schools in Gaza.

These are learning spaces turned into shelters and evacuation centres for the hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians from the northern Gaza, Gaza City, and more recently, from Rafah and Mawasi.
