Abu Hussein school massacre

17 October, 2024
Gaza, Jabalia, North Gaza, Abu Hussein school
At least 24 martyred

On october 17, at lunch time, Israel struck the UNRWA-run Abu Hussein Boys' Primary School. Like all schools in the Gaza Strip, this school was turned into a shelter for displaced Palestinians.

According to Anas al-Sharif, most of the martyrs and wounded transferred to Al-Awda and Kamal Adwan hospitals were women and children. Fires are still burning in the Abu Hussein School accommodation center, in the middle of Jabalia camp, due to the inability of the civil defense to access it due to repeated Israeli artillery bombardments on the school.

The strike happened as displaced people gathered to take their lunch Source and consequently resulted in mass casualties with initial reports indicating 15 civilians were killed. The death toll rose quickly to 24 killed and 150 injuries

Testimony of Dr. Abdallah Mohammed : "Dozens of martyrs and hundreds of wounded arrive successively at Kamal Adwan hospital following a massacre in an accommodation center... while the health system completely collapses following the continuation of the siege of Jabalia camp for the 13th consecutive day".

Note :

It's not the first time, Abu Hussein school was targeted. On 23 November 2023, an Israeli airstrike bombed the Abu Hussein School in Jabalia camp, which was being used by the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNRWA) as a shelter. At least 27 people were killed in the attack, with multiple injuries reported. Among the dead were also children. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that about 100 other people were injured in the attack
