Germany: Repeated Israeli attacks on schools 'must stop'

Germany's foreign ministry has condemned Israeli attacks on civilian infrastructure, a day after an Israeli air strike on a school in Gaza City killed at least 100 Palestinians. 

"Civilians seeking shelter getting killed is unacceptable. The repeated attacks on #schools by the Israeli army must stop and be investigated quickly," the ministry wrote on X on Sunday. 

"The suffering of women, men and many children seeking protection, who have been fleeing the fights in #Gaza for months, is immeasurable. They must not get in the crossfire any longer," the ministry said, adding that Hamas "must stop abusing them as protective shields".

"The people of #Gaza, the hostages - the entire region urgently needs the humanitarian #ceasefire and hostage deal proposed by the USA, Egypt and Qatar. It is urgent to seize this opportunity to alleviate suffering now."
