Half of Gaza's schools directly hit by Israel since 7 October were shelters, OCHA finds
Half of the school buildings that have been directly hit by Israeli strikes since October 2023 were sheltering displaced people, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has said in a update on Monday.
Israel’s most recent strike on Gaza’s al-Tabin school, which was sheltering hundreds of displaced people, killed at least 100 Palestinian civilians during early morning prayers on Saturday.
OCHA added that since 1 August, about a third of aid missions within Gaza were denied access by Israeli authorities.
The recent attack on a school sheltering hundreds of displaced families in #Gaza has caused mass casualties and utter devastation.
