A day after President Lula da Silva formally asked the Israeli government to refrain from attacks on a Catholic school in northern Gaza, where Brazilian citizens are refugees awaiting the increasingly remote possibility of repatriation to Brazil, the building came under yet another of its ongoing attacks by the Israeli Air Force in the Gaza Strip. During the attack, the rockets destroyed several buildings one after another around the Catholic religious complex Rosary Sister School, which houses a school where Brazilians were sheltering under the direction of the Brazilian Embassy in Palestine and a building that served as a makeshift shelter. also seriously injured.
Although the Catholic school was not the immediate target of the attack, the explosion and complete destruction of the surrounding buildings, especially the large building directly next door, virtually destroyed the Catholic school. Electricity and internet were cut off by Israel due to the catastrophic damage caused by the more than six thousand attacks that the Israeli government said it had already carried out this Thursday against the Gaza Strip in response to the brutal attack by Hamas extremists on Saturday. In the past, attacks on Israeli civilians and other nationalities have resulted in more than a thousand deaths but apparently no injuries among Brazilians, most of whom were children and women awaiting repatriation.
The explosions shattered all the windows of the religious complex, left the walls cracked, and part of the roof collapsed, leaving the air inside the complex, which is run by nuns and which, despite its religious nature, has become almost impossible to breathe in 2021, was attacked Israeli troops during another armed conflict in the Gaza Strip. The Brazilian embassy in Palestine said there was little it could do to help Brazilian refugees at school given the worsening military situation and the imminent invasion of the territory that Israel is preparing.
