Tens of thousands of children in Gaza being taught in shelters, UN says
More than 44,000 Palestinian children are being taught in temporary learning spaces in shelters across Gaza, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says. The agency says it is running 330 such spaces in 59 shelters in Gaza, where many children learn without basics like desks or chairs and sit on the floor during their lessons.

For many children in the #Gaza Strip, learning now takes place without desks or chairs, often on the cold ground.

Eight bodies recovered from under the rubble of a destroyed house in central Gaza
The bodies of eight members of a Palestinian family have been recovered from the rubble of their home in the Maghazi camp in central Gaza, the Wafa news agency is reporting.
Civil Defence teams in Gaza, working alongside police and Red Cross staff, have been working at the camp to retrieve the bodies of Palestinians still missing beneath the rubble.
With the latest recoveries, the number of bodies of Palestinians retrieved since the ceasefire came into effect has risen to 582.
More than 9,500 Palestinians missing in Gaza
More than 9,500 Palestinians remain missing as search efforts continue amid the widespread destruction caused by Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, according to estimates by Gaza’s Government Media Office.
Two people wounded in Israeli attack in northern Gaza
At least two people have been wounded by Israeli army fire in Jabalia in northern Gaza, ambulance and emergency services say.
Systematic Israeli demolition campaign on eastern fringes of Gaza City
Israel is increasing its attacks across the eastern parts of Gaza. Four civilians have been killed as a result of these attacks, which Israel claims are measures taken to remove threats towards its troops beyond the yellow demarcation line.
What’s demoralising to see on a daily basis is the wider-scale demolition campaigns taking place in the eastern areas of Gaza City. The scale and consistency of the destruction point to something more systematic than isolated strikes.
Entire rows of houses, farming plots and municipal infrastructure have been destroyed, often in areas where there’s no active combat.
People here see it as an Israeli attempt to carve out new buffer spaces and permanently alter the map of Gaza’s eastern edge. Critics say these actions amount to the erasure of whole communities under the guise of security operations.
