UN-Run School in Gaza Struck Again, At Least 24 Dead

The school, serving as a refuge for thousands of displaced Palestinians, was previously hit earlier this month, marking a disturbing pattern in the ongoing conflict.

• A United Nations-run school in Gaza, serving as a refuge for displaced Palestinians, was struck on Saturday, killing at least 24 people, according to UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini.
• The school was sheltering up to 7,000 displaced Palestinian civilians at the time of the attack.
• This is the second time the al-Fakhoora school was struck this month, with a previous incident on November 4 leaving at least 12 people dead and 54 injured.
• The Israeli military is reviewing the incident, while Egypt and Qatar have blamed Israel's military for the attack.
• Since the start of the conflict on October 7, at least 176 people have died in UN shelters, according to UNRWA.
