As Israeli warplanes struck yet another school sheltering displaced civilians in central Gaza, the death toll continues to rise, and so does the desperation. At least 20 Palestinians—many of them children—were killed in Tuesday’s airstrike on Abu Hmaysa School in Al-Bureij refugee camp, a supposed sanctuary turned to rubble.

The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, denounced the bombing as a war crime and called on international bodies to urgently intervene to stop what it described as a systematic genocide. According to the movement, the repeated targeting of schools, shelters, and hospitals underlines Israel’s deliberate strategy to erase the Palestinian people and crush their resilience.

The Resistance Committees echoed this condemnation, placing responsibility not only on Israel but also on the international community for its silence—and on the United States for supplying the weapons used in these attacks. They called this silence "a complicity in a Zionist holocaust," urging urgent action from Arab and Islamic nations and all people of conscience.

The attack on Al-Bureij is just one of countless massacres committed during Israel’s 578-day blockade and assault on Gaza, which has left the entire population teetering on the brink of starvation. No medicine, no aid, no safety—just ruins, grief, and unanswered pleas for help.

While world leaders debate, Gaza bleeds. The question remains: how much life must be lost before the world decides to protect it?
