Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs Hadja Lahbib has called for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, after an Isralei army strike on a UNRWA school in Nuseirat, central Gaza, killed at least 40 people in the early hours of this morning.

“The devastating airstrike on a UNRWA school in #Gaza is an appalling and unacceptable act of violence,” she wrote on X.

“All parties must respect civilian infrastructure. This tragedy reminds us of the urgency to end the violence.”
