31 Dead in Israeli Airstrike on Gaza School • Head of Controversial Gaza Aid Organization Resigns

At least 31 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a former school in Gaza City, according to local health officials. The attack also left at least 55 injured. The school, located in the Daraj neighborhood, was being used as a shelter for displaced residents. The building was hit three times by aerial projectiles, causing a fire. Many women and children were among the victims.

The Israeli military claims the building housed a Hamas and Islamic Jihad command post, though no evidence was provided.

Meanwhile, Jake Wood, head of the newly formed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), resigned, citing violations of humanitarian principles. The GHF, backed by Israel and the U.S., was established to replace existing aid organizations distrusted by Israel. However, other NGOs refuse to collaborate, citing concerns over neutrality and access.

Israel recently allowed 107 aid trucks into Gaza, but humanitarian groups say this is insufficient to address the growing famine and medical crisis.
