This strike is yet another in a deadly series of recent mass casualty incidents in the northern part of the Gaza Strip," Tor Wennesland, the U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East peace process, reported. He stressed the horrific humanitarian nightmare unfolding and the accelerated loss of chances for a sustainable resolution to the ongoing conflict.
The Israeli military is aware of civilian deaths, indicating they are "looking into" the incident; however, the airstrike's consequences were devastating, particularly for families of displaced Palestinians sheltering in the targeted building.
Freelance photojournalist Islam Ahmed described the aftermath of the airstrike as gruesome, sharing how he witnessed body parts amidst the ruins and civilians resorted to digging through debris to rescue victims.
Medical and rescue services were severely hindered by the Israeli forces, who had previously demanded that Gaza's civil defense leave the area, leading to immense civilian suffering and chaos in response to the airstrike.
