X users share Gaza crisis with harrowing accounts and satellite evidence showing the devastation of Gaza’s education system, the collapse of hospitals, and the worsening famine. Posts from aid workers, journalists, faith leaders and activists highlight the human toll of the war, with calls for a ceasefire intensifying worldwide.

Schools in Gaza Almost Destroyed

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) confirmed that Gaza’s education system is near total collapse, with almost every school building damaged. Recent UNOSAT satellite imagery shows that more than 97% of schools, including UNRWA facilities, require either complete reconstruction or extensive repairs.

UNRWA said schools must be protected at all times, warning that the destruction of classrooms is destroying the future of Gaza’s children. It also published a Global Education Cluster report verifying damage based on proximity to bombed sites.

Online Outcry Over Education Collapse

On X, users are voicing anger over the scale of destruction. Activists argue that the targeting of schools violates international law. A widely shared post read: “Israel destroyed Gaza materially, but Gaza destroyed Israel morally.” Others circulated new aerial images showing ruins of school buildings, describing them as proof of the devastation.

Another viral post recalled Cardinal Matteo Zuppi’s reading of the names of every child killed in Gaza. The solemn act reportedly took seven hours, underlining the catastrophic loss of life.

Famine Declared in Gaza

The humanitarian crisis extends beyond education. X users are also sharing updates about worsening hunger. Human rights advocate Mohamad Safa posted: “Famine has officially been declared in Gaza. It’s not famine. It’s forced starvation. And forced starvation is an act of genocide.”

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has confirmed that more than half a million people in Gaza face famine conditions. Aid workers say children are the most affected, with many dying from malnutrition while hospitals run out of space and supplies.

Hospitals at Breaking Point

Liz Allcock from Medical Aid for Palestinians described the dire situation inside Gaza’s hospitals. She said paediatric and neonatal intensive care units are overwhelmed with malnourished infants, leaving no room for patients injured in bombings and shelling.

“On one hand, you have massive overcrowding in emergency rooms where people are treated on the floor,” she explained. “On the other, you see malnourished children in a bed while three others lie nearby with injuries, and in many cases a dead body because morgues are full.”

Her remarks, shared widely on X, illustrate the desperate conditions under which Gaza’s health workers operate.

International Reactions Gaining Attention

International responses are also trending online. One widely circulated post by Mega-Politics claimed that Sweden called for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the killing of thousands in Gaza. Although the post has not been independently verified, it sparked intense debate on X.

Users from different parts of the world are also demanding accountability and an immediate ceasefire. Hashtags such as #CeasefireNow and #Gaza continue to dominate discussions.

Displacement Adds to the Crisis

UNRWA reported that intensified Israeli operations in Gaza City between 12 and 20 August displaced more than 16,000 people. With no new shelter supplies allowed into the enclave for nearly six months, families are carrying tents to overcrowded school-turned-shelters.

“Nowhere is safe in Gaza,” UNRWA said in its latest statement, urging urgent action to halt military operations and allow humanitarian aid.

Voices from the Ground

Children continue to speak out through UNRWA’s campaigns. In one video, a girl named Leen said she lost her home, school and friends, but not her love for learning. “I will not lose knowledge,” she declared. Her words were widely shared on X, symbolizing resilience amid despair.
