Israel Targets UNRWA Schools in Gaza

Israeli forces have bombed eight UNRWA schools in Gaza in the past two weeks, disrupting the safety of these spaces. The schools, intended to be safe havens, were attacked despite being run by a neutral organization providing aid. The shelters lacked adequate facilities for the hundreds of displaced people, leading to dire living conditions. The continuous targeting of UNRWA schools challenges the perception of safe spaces in Gaza.
