Gaza City – An Israeli air strike has hit a UN school sheltering displaced Palestinians, leaving dozens feared dead or injured. A separate strike destroyed a multi-story residential building in the city, deepening the humanitarian crisis.
In response to the escalating violence, Qatar’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, met with US President Donald Trump in New York following a deadly strike on Doha earlier this week.
Meanwhile, the UN General Assembly has overwhelmingly endorsed a resolution backing a two-state solution, with 142 nations voting in favour and just 10 against.
According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, more than 1.3 million Palestinians — including 350,000 children — remain trapped in Gaza City and northern areas despite ongoing bombardments and evacuation orders.
Since the conflict reignited in October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed at least 64,756 Palestinians and wounded over 164,059, with thousands more believed to be buried under rubble. On the Israeli side, 1,139 people were killed during the October 7 attacks, with about 200 taken captive.
