Algeria has called for an urgent UN Security Council session on Tuesday to address an Israeli attack on a school in Gaza City.
The school was sheltering displaced individuals when struck.
As a non-permanent Security Council member, Algeria’s request responds to the latest developments in Palestinian territories.
The airstrike on Al-Tabin school by Israeli forces prompted this move.
The request was made in coordination with Palestine and has support from other Security Council members. The exact supporting states were not mentioned in the report.
The airstrike at Al-Tabin School resulted in at least 100 deaths and numerous injuries. This attack brings the total number of schools targeted in Gaza City in the past week to six.
Despite appeals from Egypt, the US, and Qatar for a cease-fire and hostage exchange, Israel continues its assault on Gaza. The ongoing offensive has claimed nearly 39,800 lives since October.
