UNRWA clinic massacre - Jabalia

Gaza, Jabalia, North Gaza 02 April, 2025
At least 22 martyred
Around 10 am, an Israeli airstrike targeted an UNRWA medical clinic in the center of Jabalia which was used as shelter by displaced Palestinians. The bombing resulted in the massacre of 22 people, 16 of whom were children, including a 20 day-old baby girl and a 2 eyar-old girl who both got beheaded. According to journalist Islam Badr, the building was not operating as a clinic following its destruction during Israel's genocidal campaign in North Gaza late 2024. Displaced families lacking options for shelters repaired what they could to repurpose it as a shelter. The direct Israeli airstrike targeted a specific wing whose walls pillars and ceiling were damaged and the bombing thus caused these to collapse, compounding the death toll.
