A missile strike turned a Gaza school—used as a shelter—into an inferno late at night, killing at least 36 people, including 18 children and 6 women. Seven-year-old Ward Sheikh Khalil survived the attack but lost six family members. From her hospital bed, she tearfully recounted the tragedy: “The missile fell on us. The school burst into flames. I saw my mother and siblings burn in front of my eyes.” Al Jazeera confirmed that Ward is one of the few survivors from her immediate family.
