Israeli Air Strikes Claim Lives in Gaza: Schools and Hospitals Targeted

Om Ahmed Jendiya, a 35-year-old Palestinian woman seeking shelter from Israeli bombardment in Gaza, was killed by shrapnel from an Israeli missile while inside a UN school bathroom. Jendiya had taken refuge in the school with her four children, believing it to be the safest place in Gaza. The attack highlights the dangers faced by civilians in densely populated areas during the ongoing conflict, with dozens of UN schools located in neighborhoods surrounded by residential buildings and healthcare facilities. The blackout imposed on Gaza has made communication and access to emergency services difficult, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Hospitals and medical facilities have also been targeted, leaving many without access to healthcare.
