HRW: Israel Destroys 500 Schools in Gaza

In its latest report “Gaza: Israeli School Strikes Magnify Civilian Peril”, Human Rights Watch states that hundreds of Israeli attacks since October 2023 have struck over 500 school buildings through out the Gaza Strip.

These schools, used as shelters for the hundreds of thousands of people displaced since the Israeli war on the enclave, have since become killing fields. Many people living there continued to be killed because of the strikes.

The report stated the Israeli forces’ deadly attacks on schools sheltering Palestinian civilians highlight the absence of safe places for displaced people, the vast majority of Gaza’s population.

Human Rights Watch added the Israeli attacks is sure to contribute to the disruption of access to education for many years, as repair and reconstruction of schools can require significant resources and time.
