Israeli Attacks Kill Thousands of Palestinian Students

Recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 10 Palestinians at a school sheltering displaced people, with local sources reporting ongoing casualties from a military campaign that has claimed over 43,400 lives since October 7, 2023. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa urged the United Nations to take stronger action against Israeli 'crimes' and collective punishment of Gaza's population, as humanitarian conditions worsen. In addition, the Palestinian Ministry of Education reported that nearly 12,000 students have been killed and over 19,000 injured since the conflict escalated, with many schools destroyed or repurposed as shelters. The ongoing violence has severely disrupted education, leaving approximately 788,000 students unable to attend classes while facing trauma and health issues. The situation remains critical, with calls for international intervention to halt the violence and address the humanitarian crisis. The Israeli military continues to target densely populated areas despite global outcry over the escalating humanitarian disaster.
