Algeria Requests UNSC Emergency Session over Al-Tabin School Massacre in Gaza

Algeria has requested the convening of an open emergency session of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) over the Israeli bombardment that targeted Al-Tabin school in the ad-Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City, killing more than 100 Palestinians, including women and children. The Algerian news agency cited a diplomatic source in New York as saying that Algeria has requested convening such a session in view of the recent grave developments in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly following the aerial attack launched by the Israeli occupation forces on a school in Gaza. The source added that the request to convene the session was submitted in consultation with the State of Palestine and enjoys the support of other Member States of the UNSC. At least 100 Palestinian civilians, including women and children, were killed yesterday (Saturday, 10 August 2024) after the occupation forces targeted a school in Gaza City and hundreds more were injured.
