A recent Israeli airstrike on a school in the Daraj area of Gaza City has resulted in the deaths of at least 31 people and injuries to 55 others, according to Gaza health officials. The incident, which occurred on May 27, 2025, has heightened tensions in the region already reeling from ongoing conflict.
Aid Controversy Deepens
In related news, a US-backed aid organization, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), has commenced aid distribution in Gaza, a move that has drawn criticism from the United Nations. The UN has labeled the GHF’s efforts a “distraction,” adding to the controversy surrounding aid delivery in the region.
Challenges on the Ground
The GHF’s operations have also faced challenges on the ground, with reports of crowds overwhelming aid distribution sites. Further complicating matters, the head of the GHF recently resigned, citing concerns over “humanity, neutrality, and independence.” According to the organization, the GHF began its operations on May 26, delivering truckloads of food to newly established distribution sites. The foundation has also condemned what it alleges are Hamas death threats against aid groups cooperating with GHF and attempts to prevent Gazans from accessing its distribution sites.
Rocket Fire
Separately, the Israeli Air Force reported that three rockets were fired from inside Gaza on May 27, 2025. Two of the rockets reportedly fell inside Gaza, while the third was intercepted before crossing into Israel. These events underscore the ongoing volatility and humanitarian challenges in the Gaza Strip, a region marked by decades of Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Hamas control.
