Tragedy Strikes: Israeli Airstrike on Gaza School Claims 80 Lives

 

In a devastating incident, an Israeli airstrike targeted a school-turned-shelter in Gaza City, resulting in the loss of at least 80 lives. Palestinian health authorities reported the casualties, making it one of the deadliest strikes in the ongoing 10-month conflict between Israel and Hamas.

As the world grapples with the human toll of this conflict, we must continue to seek peace and humanitarian solutions to prevent further loss of life.
