The Health Ministry said that one body was recovered from the rubble over the same period. The ministry’s numbers are based on dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals.

“There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.

Israeli attacks included the bombing of a school-turned-shelter for displaced Palestinians in Gaza City. According to Al Jazeera, at least 13 Palestinians were killed by the attack, and rescue workers said six others were missing under the rubble.

“We were sleeping and suddenly something exploded, we started looking and found the whole school on fire, the tents here and there were on fire, everything was on fire,” Um Mohammed al-Hwaiti, a survivor of the attack, told Reuters.

“People were shouting and men were carrying people, charred (people), charred children, and were walking and saying: ‘Dear God, dear God, we have no one but you.’ What can we say? Dear God, only,” she added.

The Israeli military claimed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad were operating at the school but offered no evidence for the claim.

The Israeli military also bombed the Durra Children’s Hospital in Gaza City. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, a missile struck the upper floor of the hospital, damaging an ICU and solar panels. No casualties were reported in the attack. “The bombing caused significant damage to the intensive care unit and the alternative energy system inside the hospital,” the Health Ministry said.

The ministry said that since Israel restarted its genocidal war on March 18, 1,928 Palestinians have been killed, and 5,055 have been injured. Since March 2, Israel has maintained a total blockade on Gaza, cutting off much-needed humanitarian aid, and the ministry warned on Wednesday that children are starving.

THE BEST CARTOON OF THE YEAR AT TOP — BY CATHY WILCOX, SMH 24/04/2025....

The authorities in Ukraine have launched a criminal investigation after three young people were photographed performing Nazi salutes at a Holocaust memorial in Kharkov, sparking outrage from local officials and Jewish organizations.

The incident occurred at the Drobitsky Yar memorial site, where up to 20,000 Jews were executed during the Nazi occupation during World War II. Photos showing the three youths, with two clearly giving the Nazi salute on the steps of the memorial, were widely circulated on local Telegram channels last weekend.

Kharkov Mayor Igor Terekhov condemned the act as “a conscious desecration of memory, of humanity, and of Kharkov itself.”

Drobitsky Yar is not just a place – it is a wound in the heart of Kharkov. It is silence that screams with the pain of thousands of innocent lives,” Terekhov wrote in a statement on his Telegram channel on Wednesday.

These three are not ‘just kids,’ it’s not a ‘joke,’ not a ‘mistake.’ This is a deliberate act of mockery… I appeal to law enforcement – find them. Quickly. Publicly. And ensure that these young Nazis are punished appropriately for their actions.

The United Jewish Community of Ukraine also condemned the incident and filed a formal complaint with law enforcement. The Kharkov regional police confirmed a pre-trial investigation is underway and said they are working to identify and locate the individuals involved. If convicted, the suspects could face up to five years in prison.

Drobitsky Yar is one of dozens of Holocaust massacre sites across Ukraine, where German forces and local collaborators murdered around 1.5 million Jews during World War II.

Russia has consistently accused Ukraine’s leadership of embracing neo-Nazi ideology and whitewashing known WWII-era collaborators. When the conflict between Moscow and Kiev escalated into open hostilities in February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin cited the “denazification” of Ukraine as one of the primary objectives of his military operation, alongside demilitarization and neutrality.

Top Russian officials have repeatedly pointed out that the current Ukrainian authorities openly celebrate Nazi figures, most notably Stepan Bandera, a Ukrainian nationalist who collaborated with the Third Reich. Bandera has been officially hailed as a national hero in Ukraine since 2010, with nationalists regularly marking his birthday on January 1 with torchlit marches and massive demonstrations.
