We are deeply concerned about reports of civilian casualties in Gaza following a strike by the Israel Defense Forces on a compound that included a school,
We know Hamas has been using schools as locations to gather and operate out of, but we have also said repeatedly and consistently that Israel must take measures to minimize civilian harm,
The civil defence team said that they were able to find 100 dead bodies, but they’re saying that there are more bodies still trapped. Most of the bodies are so disfigured, they’re unable to recognise who these Palestinians are,
The US & allies are claiming a ceasefire is near. But all Palestinians see is more death, dislocation, & despair. The genocide continues,
We recovered at least 90 people who had been killed, ... It reminds us of the first days of the war in the Gaza Strip,
Those who were inside the mosque were all killed. Even the floor above, where women and children were sleeping, was completely burned,
We received some of the most serious injuries we encountered during the war,
Based on Israeli intelligence, approx. 20 Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants, including senior commanders, were operating from the compound struck at the Al-Tabaeen school, using it to carry out terrorist attacks. The compound, and the mosque that was struck within it, served as an active Hamas and Islamic Jihad military facility,
According to an initial review, the numbers published by the Hamas-run Government Information Office in Gaza, do not align with the information held by the IDF , the precise munitions used, and the accuracy of the strike,
So far, there are more than 93 martyrs, including 11 children and six women. There are unidentified remains,
The massacre at al-Tabin school in the Daraj neighbourhood in central Gaza City is a horrific crime that constitutes a dangerous escalation,
Committing these massacres confirms beyond a shadow of a doubt its efforts to exterminate our people through the policy of cumulative killing and mass massacres that make living consciences tremble,
We call on our Arab and Islamic countries and the international community to fulfill their responsibilities and take urgent action to stop these massacres and halt the escalating Zionist aggression against our people and defenseless citizens,
Most of them have not been identified due to the disappearance of their features and the melting of the bodies, as most of them were molten remains,
The Israeli bombing of a displaced people's school comes within the framework of the crime of genocide and ethnic cleansing against our Palestinian people in a clear manner,
Numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and intelligence information,
We've been displaced 15 times,
There were people praying, there were people washing and there were people upstairs sleeping, including children, women and old people,
Forty martyrs and dozens wounded after the Israeli bombing of the Al-Tabai'een school in the Al-Sahaba area in Gaza City,
The Secretary reaffirmed the United States' ironclad commitment to Israel's security and discussed how escalation is in no party's interest,
