In response to this morning’s reported bombing of a school building in Nuseirat in central Gaza, Islamic Relief says:
We are outraged at yet another horrific attack on families trying to find shelter in Gaza, with reports of dozens killed by Israeli bombing of a UN-run school where thousands of displaced people are sheltering. These atrocities are happening with shocking frequency and impunity.
In the past few weeks Israel has ordered more than 1 million Palestinians to move, then starved them of aid and bombed them as they seek refuge in tents, school classrooms or by the roadside. People in Gaza have nowhere safe to go.
International governments and world leaders have repeatedly talked of red lines, then fail to act after yet another massacre. They must use all their influence and leverage to demand an end to these attacks and an immediate ceasefire.
