At least 20 reported dead in Israeli airstrike on Gaza school housing displaced people
An Israeli airstrike hit a school in Gaza where displaced families were sheltering, killing at least 20 people and injuring many more, according to local health officials. The school was supposed to be a safe haven—now it’s another grim marker in the escalating humanitarian crisis.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another headline in a long-running conflict—it’s a stark reminder of how civilians, especially those already displaced, are paying the heaviest price. Schools and shelters are supposed to be protected under international law, so strikes like this raise urgent questions about the rules of war and the toll on innocent lives. For readers, it’s a moment to pause and ask: How much worse will this get before the world steps in?

Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz is putting pressure on Slovakia and Hungary, threatening to cut their EU funding if they continue to oppose the bloc’s stance on Russia. The warning comes as tensions rise over differing approaches to Moscow within the union.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a bureaucratic spat—it’s a sign of deepening fractures in the EU over how to handle Russia. Germany’s hardline stance could escalate tensions with member states that favor a more neutral or Russia-friendly position, potentially weakening unity at a time when the bloc is already under strain. If funding gets pulled, it could hurt economies in Hungary and Slovakia, fueling even more political backlash.
