Israel Continues Its Genocidal War, Attacking Another Gaza School and Pushing Gazans Out of Deir al-Balah
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scores of Palestinians have been killed over the past day as Israel
continues its unrelenting attacks on Gaza. An Israeli strike on another
school, this time the Mustafa Hafez School in Gaza City, killed at least
12 people Tuesday.

Umm Mohammed: "We were sitting peacefully, and we did not see the
explosion. The people are gone. They're dead! They are under the rubble,
our people! … Our children! We don't know where our young girls are, my
dears! Where are they?"

Hundreds of people had taken shelter at the school.
Displaced Palestinians are yet again on the move after Israel issued
fresh evacuation orders for the densely packed Deir al-Balah. It's not
clear where they can take refuge since there is no safe place in Gaza.
