University sheltering displaced Palestinians in Khan Younis bombed by Israel

Al-Aqsa University campus in Khan Younis opened its doors for the refugees from the north of the Strip following the Israeli assault on 7 October. 

"Today, the university has been bombarded by the Israeli occupation which has led to the death of a number of people," said Birzeit University, based in the occupied West Bank, in a post on X. 

"Birzeit sees this as a blatant violation of all the international charters and laws that incriminate the violation of the sanctity of academic institutions," it added. 

"The Israeli occupation, since Oct. 7, has destroyed more than 390 academic institutions, the last of which was bombing Al-Israa University, and The Islamic University. The university calls on the international world to work in order to stop this genocidal crimes in Gaza," the university said.
