After the recent Israeli attack on United Nations' school hosting displaced Palestinians, Pakistanigirls’ education activist and youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai has reiterated her call for an "immediate" ceasefire in Gaza.
Yousafzai took to X, formerly known as Twitter, after Israeli military bombarded another UN school in central Gaza’s Nuseirat camp, killing dozens including children.
Isreali forces killed at least 40 people mainly women and children in this school, as per the local government officials, reported Al Jazeera.
“I’m horrified that Israel has bombed yet another school in Gaza, where thousands of civilians were sheltering. Schools should never be targets. I reiterate my call for an immediate ceasefire — we cannot have any more innocent lives lost,” the activist wrote on X.
Yousafzai also highlighted the devastating situation in the Gaza Strip especially after Israel's horrific massacre against Palestinians in Rafah during her recent interview with Vogue.
She said: "This is such a difficult time right now, especially because of what’s happening in Gaza, and especially this week, what we saw in Rafah. It is heartbreaking and terrifying to have witnessed these moments. People are so angry and can’t believe this could happen right in front of our eyes.”
The Nobel laureate reiterated that when she thinks about what Palestinians in Gaza are going through, she cannot even imagine the atrocities and the pain.
Moreover, she announced a new scholarship initiative for Palestinian students at the University of Oxford this week along with emphasising on the Malala Fund’s ongoing commitment to Palestine.
This includes $300,000 which her organisation has already dedicated for Palestinian-led aid collectives and humanitarian efforts.
Israel’s mass genocidal attacks have killed more than 37,181 Palestinians along with injuring 88,309 others since October 7, as per the Palestinian health ministry.
