Cease indiscriminate attacks on civilians in Gaza, protect human rights

The intensifying Israeli attacks on schools in Gaza are a grave violation of human rights and international law. The recent strike that killed 12 Palestinians sheltering in a school is deeply disturbing. Hundreds of displaced civilians were taking refuge there, making this a completely unacceptable targeting of non-combatants. Schools must be protected as civilian infrastructure even during armed conflict. Stop funding Israel. Concrete steps must be taken to prevent further loss of innocent life and safeguard human rights in Gaza. Indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.
