One of those trapped in this school said the occupation forces and snipers were firing heavily at them, and there were casualties in the vicinity of the school, attacked for the second day in a row.
The displaced people in Khan Yunis are living in extremely difficult humanitarian conditions due to the continuous targeting of the areas, the scarcity of materials, and the difficulty of heading to the city of Rafah due to the occupation’s targeting of infrastructure and roads, forcing most of them to take rugged roads on foot.
Since October 7, 17,177 Palestinians have been killed and more than 46,000 wounded, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.
