The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas shattered on March 18 after Israeli airstrikes hit the Al-Tabin school in Gaza City, a shelter housing dozens of displaced families. The strikes reduced parts of the building to rubble, leaving scenes of devastation and a death toll now at 404, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
What We Know
The attack marks one of the deadliest escalations in recent weeks, reigniting global concerns over civilian safety in the conflict. Families at the school had fled earlier violence, only to face tragedy as the ceasefire collapsed. Footage from the site shows rescue teams sifting through debris for survivors as international leaders urge restraint.
Why It Matters
This incident raises urgent questions about humanitarian protections in war zones. With over 404 lives lost—many women and children—calls for accountability grow louder. The UN has labeled Gaza a “powder keg” amid stalled peace talks and dwindling resources. Meanwhile, tensions ripple across the region, threatening broader instability.
As the world reacts, stories of resilience emerge: volunteers delivering aid under fire, activists amplifying voices from the rubble. But for now, hope hangs by a thread.
