UNRWA’s Media Advisor Adnan Abu Hasna told Al Jazeera and as stated by Palestine Chronicle that the UN agency always provides the Israeli army with the coordinates of the schools but to no avail.

This was supposed to be a “safe area” as designated by the Israeli army but it continues to be bombed just the same.

The school, located in Al-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza Strip, provides shelter for thousands of displaced families who have come hear from all around Gaza and clearly bears UNRWA markings.

The faces of horror ensues amidst the dozens of casualties at the Al-Nuseirat UNRWA school following the deliberate sraeli occupation bombing that repeated the massacres of displaced Palestinians happening elsewhere in the Gaza Strip.

“All of the school is a mass of different human pieces, legs, arms, heads, and children cut to pieces and martyrs which you can’t count,” one displaced shouts on top of his head.  

He is repeating what everybody else is saying. All you hear is screams and endless wailing seconds after the Israeli missile landed in the middle of the school.

The school has become chaos with people running around shouting about the other men, women and children who were just killed and murdered. “Look, look around you,” one says. “Look at the bodies, cut to pieces.”

A child was buried alive in the latest attack. After frantic digging inside the school, ordinary people and civil defense brought out the child alive amidst the caked rubble and cement that surrounded his body.

As a blink of an eye, many were killed and injured. “We were sitting down here, when we heard a loud thud and there were shrapnel everywhere with broken glass all around and martyrs scattered everywhere,” said one displaced lady.

It one more massacre daily committed by the Israeli army and warplanes. Nobody knows when will this stop but they keep hoping and praying.

Oman Mediates US-Houthi Ceasefire

Oman on Tuesday announced that its mediatory efforts led to a ceasefire between the US and Houthis in Yemen, after President Donald Trump said the group will not be carrying out attacks on commercial ships.

“Following recent discussions and contacts conducted by the Sultanate of Oman with the United States and the relevant authorities in Sana’a, in the Republic of Yemen, with the aim of de-escalation, efforts have resulted in a ceasefire agreement between the two sides,” Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said in a statement on X.

“In the future, neither side will target the other, including American vessels, in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, ensuring freedom of navigation and the smooth flow of international commercial shipping,” he added.

Expressing appreciation for both parties’ cooperation, Albusaidi said: “The Sultanate of Oman expresses its gratitude to both parties for their constructive approach that led to this welcome outcome, and hopes that it will lead to further progress on many regional issues towards achieving justice, peace, and prosperity for all.”

Houthis started attacking shipping lanes in the Red and Arabian seas after Israel’s war in Gaza, in solidarity with the Palestinians.

In March, Trump launched a military operation against the Yemeni group.

Earlier, during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the White House, Trump said Houthis informed them they will not be carrying out additional attacks on commercial ships, and the US will reciprocate by halting attacks on Yemen, according to Anadolu.

Famine: Hundreds of Thousands Eat Every 2-3 Days in Gaza

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians eat only one meal every two or three days amid a crippling Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Tuesday.

“More than 66,000 children in Gaza are suffering from severe malnutrition,” UNRWA spokesman Adnan Abu Hasna told Al-Ghad TV in an interview.

Since March 2, Israel has kept Gaza’s crossings closed to food, medical, and humanitarian aid, deepening an already humanitarian crisis in the enclave, according to government, human rights, and international reports.

Figures released by Gaza’s government media office showed that at least 57 Palestinians have died of starvation since October 2023.

Nearly 2.4 million people in Gaza live completely dependent on humanitarian aid, according to World Bank data.

“UNRWA will not be part of the new Israeli plan” for aid distribution in Gaza, as the plan “doesn’t adhere to UN standards at all,” Abu Hasna said.

On Sunday night, the Israeli Security Cabinet approved a plan to distribute aid in the blockaded enclave through private security contractors.

The plan, however, was rejected by the UN and dozens of international aid groups, saying it runs against humanitarian principles, is logistically unworkable, and could put Palestinian civilians and staffers in harm’s way.

The UN Humanitarian Country Team in Gaza said on Sunday night that it “can only support plans that respect the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, independence, and impartiality,” according to Anadolu.

More than 52,500 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023, most of them women and children.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants in November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
