Israel Attacks School Sheltering Displaced Palestinians, Killing 10

HeadlineApr 23, 2025

In Gaza, at least 10 Palestinians were killed, including a child, after an Israeli strike sparked a fire at a school sheltering displaced people in Gaza City. They’re among 24 Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes on Gaza since dawn. Separately, civil defense workers in northern Gaza report Israeli warplanes have blown up nine bulldozers being used in humanitarian operations.

Khalil Nasser: “These machines serve us, removing the rubble from the streets and retrieving the martyrs from under the rubble. At the very least, they provide us with a room or tent above our homes. The Israeli occupation came and destroyed them. The occupation is still causing us harm.”

On Tuesday, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Israel’s total blockade of Gaza had cut off access to polio vaccines, putting the lives of over 600,000 Palestinian children at risk.
