Israel Commits School Massacre While World Watches

“We are appalled at yet another deadly massacre at a school in central Gaza where desperate families have been ordered to shelter,” stated the Islamic Relief organization, Sunday.

Reports indicate that at least 30 people are killed and over 100 injured at the school in Deir al Balah, with infant children among the dead and hospitals swamped with casualties. Such atrocities against civilians have become almost daily occurrences in Gaza, the organization stated.

Israel’s policy of constantly forcing civilians to move from one place to another, and then attacking the schools and camps where they are told to go, is inhumane and causing unprecedented death and trauma, Islamic relief added.

It is making the humanitarian crisis even more catastrophic by the day. Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to move time and again over the past few weeks, with many families now displaced 9 or 10 times since the crisis escalated,” Islamic Relief pointed out.

Around 83% of Gaza is now subject to Israeli so-called ‘evacuation orders’ or no-go military zones, with over 2 million people forced into ever smaller areas where they cannot access food, clean water or sanitation, and where they face the constant threat of further attack.

International governments must demand an immediate ceasefire and an end to the constant forced displacement and attacks on fleeing civilians, and ensure accountability for such actions, it ended its statement.
