GAZA: Kuwait’s Al-Najat Charity built a camp for displaced Palestinians in Khan Yunis’ western region, Gaza Strip, through Palestine’s Wafaa capacity-building institute. Wafaa general director Muhaisen Attawneh told KUNA that the camp houses around 100 Palestinian families, as it also provides services to 284 families outside of the camp. The camp also includes a waste water system, a prayer area, and a medical checkpoint, he explained. This project is considered to be of great importance as tens of thousands are forcefully displaced to camps, camps that are now covering a large expanse of Gaza Strip coastline.

Meanwhile, Gaza’s civil defense agency said Zionist bombardment of a school compound in Gaza City killed at least 17 people Saturday, as the military reported it had hit a Hamas command center. “There are 17 martyrs and several wounded due to shelling on Hamama school,” the agency said in a statement, updating an earlier toll of 10 killed.

The Zionist military confirmed the strike, saying it had hit a Hamas command and control center located inside the compound. Earlier, civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal said the compound was housing Palestinians displaced from their homes in the ongoing war. The Zionist military said the compound was being used by Hamas militants to manufacture weapons, adding it was a “hiding place for Hamas terrorists.” — Agencies
