Gaza – Ma’an – At least 21 citizens were killed and dozens were injured in a violent Israeli airstrike that targeted Al-Falah School, which houses displaced people in the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood, south of Gaza City.
Our correspondent said that the aircraft targeted the displacement center, which includes three schools, which led to the death and injury of a large number of martyrs and wounded, most of whom were women and children.
The martyrs and wounded were transferred to the nearby Baptist Hospital, while confirming that there are more citizens under the rubble.
In a related context, the Health Ministry in Gaza announced the martyrdom of five employees of the Ministry of Health and the injury of others, as a result of targeting the ministry’s warehouses in the Musabah area, south of the Gaza Strip.
The Health Ministry confirmed that ambulance crews are unable to reach to retrieve the martyrs and treat the wounded.
The Ministry of Health appealed to all international organizations and concerned parties
to intervene in order to protect and rescue the wounded from the site.
In turn, the government media office said that the “Israeli” occupation army is committing a horrific massacre by bombing the (Al-Zeitoun C) school, which shelters thousands of displaced people south of Gaza City, killing 21 martyrs and wounding 30 so far, most of them children and women.*
The Israeli occupation army committed a horrific, brutal massacre by bombing the (Al-Zeitoun C) school in the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood in the south of the Gaza Strip. This brutal massacre has claimed the lives of 21 martyrs so far, including 13 children and 6 women, including a 3-month-old fetus. This crime has also caused 30 injuries, including 9 children whose limbs have now been amputated, and the rest of the injuries are terrible burns, in addition to 2 missing persons so far.
He pointed out that this horrific massacre committed by the occupation comes within the framework of the crime of genocide committed by the “Israeli” occupation, as the numbe
r of shelters bombed by the occupation reached 181 displacement and shelter centers.
This crime comes at a time when the health situation in the Gaza and North governorates, which are home to 700,000 people, is difficult. The remaining hospitals in these two governorates are unable to provide good health and medical services as a result of the occupation’s plan to completely destroy the health system.
The government office condemned the “Israeli” occupation for committing this horrific massacre and the ongoing massacres against civilians, children and women, and we call on all countries of the world to condemn these ongoing crimes against the displaced and against civilians.
We hold the “Israeli” occupation and the American administration fully responsible for the continuation of the crime of genocide and the continuation of committing these massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip, and we also hold them responsible for targeting and bombing shelters and schools.
He called on the international commun
ity and all UN and international organizations to pressure the occupation to stop the crime of genocide and stop the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip.
