Humanitarian Crisis Deepens

The Israeli airstrike on a Gaza school-turned-shelter highlights the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe, with civilians—including children—bearing the brunt of the conflict. Rescue efforts are being impeded by military restrictions, while attacks persist even in areas labeled as “safe zones.” With no aid entering Gaza and casualties mounting, international calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian access grow more urgent. The lack of an immediate Israeli response leaves victims’ families awaiting accountability.
