Tragedy in Gaza: School Shelter Targeted Amid Ceasefire Talks


An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter in Gaza City has claimed the lives of at least 23 people, including children, as Arab mediators work tirelessly to negotiate a long-term truce between Israel and Hamas. The strike ignited tents sheltering displaced Palestinians, leaving many burned alive.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, with displaced families struggling to survive under dire conditions. The tragedy underscores the urgent need for a resolution to the conflict and an end to civilian suffering.
