At least 12 displaced Palestinians, including women and children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on November 7, 2024, targeting a school in Gaza. The school, located in the Jabaliya refugee camp, was being used as an emergency shelter for displaced families amid the ongoing conflict. The attack is part of a series of Israeli airstrikes that have struck civilian areas, raising international alarm over the safety of refugees and non-combatants in Gaza.

The school was operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides essential aid to Palestinian refugees. According to reports, the victims were sheltering in the facility after being displaced by earlier bombardments in the region. The strike has added to the already high toll of civilian casualties, with thousands of Palestinians having fled their homes due to the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas.

The incident underscores the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where hospitals and shelters are struggling to accommodate the increasing number of displaced people. International bodies have called for an immediate ceasefire and better protection for civilians, but the violence continues to escalate, with little sign of a resolution in sight.
