UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy expressed deep shock and condemnation over Israel's airstrike on Al-Taba'een School in Gaza City, which killed at least 100 and injured many others. The school, housing displaced Palestinians, was struck during dawn prayers. Lammy called for an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, and unrestricted aid access. Despite international appeals from Egypt, the US, and Qatar, Israel continues its offensive, which has resulted in nearly 39,800 Palestinian deaths since October. The International Court of Justice has accused Israel of genocide in Gaza.
