Overview

  • An Israeli airstrike on the Yaffa School shelter in Gaza City killed at least 10 people, including a child, and set fire to tents and classrooms.
  • A missile strike on Durra Children’s Hospital in Gaza City damaged the intensive care unit and destroyed its solar power system, though no casualties were reported.
  • Gaza's health system is nearing collapse due to an ongoing Israeli blockade that has cut off essential supplies, including fuel and electricity.
  • Since the collapse of a January ceasefire on March 18, Israeli attacks have killed over 1,600 Palestinians and displaced hundreds of thousands, with many forced into unsafe shelters.
  • The Palestinian Civil Defence has issued an urgent appeal to the International Committee of the Red Cross for help in rescuing people trapped under rubble in heavily bombarded areas.
