‘Are we meant to be tortured till the end of our lives?’
Al Jazeera’s Moath Kahlout spoke to Palestinians who survived the Israeli attack on the Hamama school yesterday in Gaza City that killed 17 people.
Raida Al Khodary said she and her family have been displaced roughly 10 times, moving from one school to another. She said there is “no safe school, no safe place, no safe street, and we don’t know where to go”.
“The Israelis shelled the school we first stayed in, and they also shelled every school and shelter. I can’t describe our life. Are we meant to be targeted and to be killed here? Are we meant to be tortured till the end of our lives?
“The world must find a solution. The world must not turn a blind eye. Do all the countries lose mercy and sympathy?”
Inshirah Saadallah said her family had been forced from various schools eight times without any idea about where their next destination would be.
“This is not fair. This is injustice. The children are being killed. I need to find a shelter, but I don’t know where to go,” she said.

Israel blocking and letting aid rot ‘first phase of its genocide,’: Turkish FM
Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says Israel’s practice of blocking aid, killing aid workers, blocking evacuations, and allowing humanitarian supplies to rot are crimes against humanity and the “first phase of the genocide”.
His remarks came after a visit to Egypt’s El Arish port and the Rafah border.
Fidan urged the global community not to remain silent on “Israel’s oppression” and called for “greater efforts” to ensure that aid reaches Gaza without being obstructed or interrupted.

‘Our blood is one’: Blood donation campaign launched in West Bank for Gaza
The Palestinian health ministry has launched a blood donation campaign for the people of Gaza, the Wafa news agency reports.
Announcing the blood drive in Ramallah, Health Minister Majid Abu Ramadan said that the campaign titled “Our blood is one” will be “active at all blood banks within the ministry’s hospitals, as well as through a mobile blood bank vehicle” in the occupied West Bank.
The blood will be transferred to Gaza, where more than 90,000 have been injured in the Israeli offensive since October 7.
