Tents ablaze after Israeli forces drop grenades on 3 schools-turned-shelters
Israeli forces have dropped grenades on three schools used to shelter the displaced in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood, causing tents to catch fire, the Reuters news agency is reporting.
“Sheikh Radwan is being burnt upside-down,” 60-year-old resident Zakeya Sami said. “The occupation destroyed houses, burnt tents and drones played audio messages ordering people to leave the area.
“If the takeover of Gaza City isn’t stopped, we might die, and we are not going to forgive anyone who stands and watches without doing anything to prevent our death.”
More than 21,000 children in Gaza disabled during war: UN committee
The UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities reports that about 40,500 children have suffered “new war-related injuries” during the war, leaving more than half of them disabled.
As we’ve reported, child malnutrition is also soaring in Gaza, where famine has been declared.
An estimated 132,000 children less than the age of five are projected to be at risk of death from acute malnutrition by June 2026, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification system.
‘Destruction is everywhere, fear is constant’
It feels endless and it’s all consuming: it’s not just the sound of fighter jets and drones buzzing in the background – that we’ve heard 24/7 for almost 23 months now – it’s just the sense that an entire city is being destroyed block-by-block, street-by-street.
It’s not just that – it’s the memories that people lived with and the life they built for the past 50 years, or 50-plus years, it’s all gone. The destruction is everywhere.
For families, the fear is constant – that it’s going to continue and the relentless bombardment is going to erase much of their history and much of their memories.
If you combine all this, it feels like a living nightmare. For me and for other people around us here – for the crew members, for the people that we deal with on a daily basis – they can’t live an hour of their life without thinking of the risks.
At this point, it’s not about safety as much as it’s about survival. People are trying to survive.
Death toll rises: 44 Palestinians killed across Gaza today
At least 44 Palestinians have been killed across the coastal enclave since the early hours of this morning, medical sources at Gaza hospitals say.
Among those dead, 33 were killed in besieged Gaza City.
Israel has stepped up its destruction of Gaza City as it plans to seize Gaza’s largest urban centre and forcibly displace about one million Palestinians to concentration zones in the south.
