30 people including women, children killed in Israeli shelling to displaced school

CAIRO – 26 May 2025: 30 people including women and Children were killed, Monday morning in Gaza due to an Israeli bombing to a school housing a large number of displaced persons, according to spokesperson for the Palestinian Ministry of Health Khalil Al-Daqran.

He added that dozens of other civilians are suffering critical injuries, describing the health and humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip as ‘catastrophic’ due to the continuing military escalations.

In a phone call with Extra News channel, the spokesperson indicated that the intense shelling around the school charred the bodies and turned the area into rubble and scattered body parts.

He explained that hospitals, most notably the Baptist Hospital and Al-Shifa Hospital, received the bodies of the martyrs and the injured under extremely difficult operating conditions, as these hospitals are only partially operational due to the situation.

Al-Daqran explained that more than 50 injured children, women, and elderly were transferred to hospitals suffering from critical head and chest injuries, as well as second- and third-degree burns.

He noted that the Israeli occupying forces used internationally prohibited weapons during the attack, in clear violation of international humanitarian law.
