UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called the humanitarian situation in Gaza ‘horrific.’
The UN Secretary-General renewed his calls for a humanitarian ceasefire and the immediate release of all hostages in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Guterres expressed his outrage in a similar post about the Israeli forces’ attack on an ambulance convoy outside Gaza’s Al Shifa hospital.
“Civilians in Gaza, including women and children, have been besieged, denied aid, killed, and bombed out of their homes for nearly a month.” “This has to stop,” says the UN Secretary-General.
According to Al Jazeera, Israel’s heavy bombardment of Gaza has intensified, targeting schools, shelters, hospital areas, and ambulances.
According to the Gaza health ministry, at least 15 people were killed in a strike on a school in the Jabalia refugee camp on Saturday.
According to the most recent update from Gaza, health ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra, at least 15 people were killed and 54 were injured in the Israeli bombing of al-Fakhoora School.
The largest school in the north, Al-Fakhoora, is located within the Jabalia refugee camp.
According to the spokesperson, an estimated 2,200 people, including 1,250 children, were buried in Gaza under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
According to him, the majority of the victims were women and children sitting in the schoolyard who were torn to pieces; their bones and flesh were collected in plastic bags.
According to al-Qudra, at least 231 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours.
This brings the total number of Palestinians killed since October 7 to 9,488 people, including 3,900 children.
However, the media has been unable to verify figures from either Israeli or Palestinian authorities independently.
According to an Al Jazeera correspondent, residents in northern Gaza may not have enough time or transportation to move south after Israeli authorities announced a short window of time for them to evacuate through Salah al-Din Street.
“Even though the Israeli army has advised us to evacuate, many people find it extremely difficult and dangerous to do so.”
“Many people may not have received that message, and many may not be able to move, especially since not everyone has access to transportation,” Sara Khairat, reporting from occupied East Jerusalem, said.
