Gaza Genocide: Israel Bombs School Shelter, Kills 10 and Burns Child Alive
Rabat – The Palestinian Civil Defense recovered 10 bodies this morning, April 23, after Israel struck the Jaffa School in Gaza's Tuffah district, where many forcibly displaced Palestinians had sought refuge. A significant number of others were injured in the assault. Video footage shared by Palestinians documenting their own annihilation of their own communities showed flames engulfing tent structures, their fabric melting over the charred remnants of burning chairs. Among the victims was a child described as having been 'burned beyond recognition.' 'Our children are being burned while they sleep in the tents of the displaced,' reported Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, capturing the horrific reality that continues to unfold under Israel's genocide in Gaza. 'There are no safe areas, and no survivors of this genocide. Gaza City and its northern districts have endured relentless Israeli shelling and artillery fire for hours,' he added. In the same area, Israel also bombed two residential homes, trapping people beneath the rubble. 'Trapped people are calling for help from under the collapsed homes,' said the Civil Defense, noting that emergency workers were unable to reach the area, which has been declared off-limits by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF). Israel intensified its bombardment with heavy artillery and airstrikes throughout the early morning. These included the bombing of tent shelters in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, killing at least two people — one of them a child. In al-Mawasi, south of Khan Younis, an area that Israel has previously designated as a 'safe zone,' a drone strike killed at least one person and wounded several others. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) reported earlier this month that it has documented 224 Israeli airstrikes on residential buildings and rents for displaced people in Gaza between March 18 and April 19. The UN office states that 36 of these attacks only killed children and women. Tags: children of Gazadeath toll in GazaIsrael war crimes

Child among at least 10 killed in Israeli attack on school shelter in Gaza
At least 10 people have been killed in an Israeli attack that sparked a fire at a school sheltering displaced people in Gaza City, including one child who was burned to death in the blaze. The Palestinian Civil Defence said its emergency workers recovered 10 bodies early on Wednesday morning after the attack on the school, where forcibly displaced people had taken shelter. A large number of people were also injured, it said in a post on the Telegram messaging platform. 'Children are being burned while they sleep in the tents of the displaced,' Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif wrote on social media after the attack. 'There are no safe areas, and no survivors of this genocide. Gaza City and its northern areas have been subjected to heavy Israeli shelling and artillery fire for hours,' he said. Video footage shared on social media after the attack on the school-turned-shelter showed flames engulfing tent structures and canvas covering melting onto the remains of burning chairs and what appeared to be a bed civil defence also issued an urgent appeal for assistance from the International Committee of the Red Cross to help rescue people trapped under the rubble following Israel's bombing of two homes in Gaza City's Tuffah neighbourhood. 'Trapped people are calling for help to rescue them from under the rubble of homes,' the civil defence said in a statement, adding that emergency workers were unable to reach the area because it was too dangerous, as the area is designated a 'no-go' zone by Israeli forces. Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic and local Palestinian media also reported that a child was among two people killed on Wednesday morning in an Israeli attack on tent shelters in northern Gaza's Jabalia refugee camp. One person was also reported killed and several injured in an Israeli drone attack on tent shelters in the so-called al-Mawasi 'safe zone', south of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Intense Israeli artillery fire and air attacks were reported across the Strip in the early hours of the morning.

Israeli Strike Kills Dozens at Gaza City Shelter, Officials Say
Dozens of people were killed on Thursday in an Israeli strike on a school-turned-shelter in Gaza City, according to local health authorities. The deadly strike took place as Israel was ramping up its offensive in the Gaza Strip to pressure Hamas to release more hostages being held in its captivity. The Israeli military said that it was looking into reports about the incident and could not immediately provide a comment. The bodies of 27 people killed in the strike arrived at Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City, the health ministry said. The ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its casualty counts. Multiple videos verified by The New York Times show an explosion and its chaotic aftermath at the Dar al-Arqam school in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City, where civilians were sheltering. In the videos, people can be seen carrying victims, including children, to ambulances as fires burn in the background. A video filmed by Anas al-Sharif, a reporter for Al Jazeera, shows more than a dozen wounded children at the Ahli Arab hospital, including some covered in dust. Israel has accused Hamas of embedding its forces in civilian spaces, including schools and hospitals. Mohammed al-Najjar, 32, had been sheltering at the school when a series of airstrikes pounded into the building, he said. 'We were surprised when the school was bombed,' he said in a voice message, adding that a second round of airstrikes was carried out later. On Wednesday, Avichay Adraee, an Arabic-language spokesman for the Israeli military, called on residents of the Tuffah neighborhood to evacuate the area. While many people have complied with such evacuation orders from the military during the most recent Israeli campaign, others have chosen to stay in their homes or shelters, saying they can't bear being displaced — many of them have already been uprooted several times during the war — or that they have nowhere else to go. A two-month-old cease-fire between Israel and Hamas collapsed in mid-March after the two sides failed to reach an agreement to extend it. The Israeli military has since embarked on a major bombing campaign throughout Gaza that Israeli officials have said was meant to compel Hamas to release more hostages. More than 1,000 people in Gaza have been killed since the collapse of the cease-fire on Mar. 18, according to the Gaza health ministry.
