Malala Yousafzai strongly condemns Israeli attack on Gaza school

Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai has strongly condemned the Israeli military's attack on a school in Gaza.

In a statement released on X (formerly Twitter), Malala said that the Israeli military has carried out yet another deadly attack on a school in Gaza.

She stated that such violent and horrific attacks on Palestinian civilians and children are unacceptable. We cannot remain indifferent to such brutal massacres.

Malala further emphasized that this nightmare must end immediately with a swift and lasting ceasefire.

Three Israeli bombs hit al-Tabin school, located in the Daraj district, Gaza’s civil defence agency said of the attack on Saturday, which it described as a “horrific massacre”.

Women, children and the elderly are reported to be among the dead and the toll was expected to rise. The attack took place while people were performing morning prayers and triggered a fire that ripped through the building.

It is noteworthy that last week, more than 120 Palestinians were martyred in an attack by the Israeli military on the Al-Tabeen School in Gaza.

Seeing yet another Israeli airstrike targeting a school in Gaza, reportedly the deadliest one yet. These violent attacks on innocent Palestinian civilians and children are terrifying and unacceptable. We cannot become numb to these horrific massacres. This nightmare must end –…
