Israeli aggression last night focused on the bombing of several family homes, as was the case with the Al-Agha and Al-Masry families, and various killings. The bombings, in turn, affected basic services such as water, fuel and electricity, potentially leaving the entire Gaza Strip without these services, which would paralyze hospital services.
As a result of the Israeli occupation’s aggression so far, the Ministry of Health reported the deaths of 28 Palestinians, including 6 children, 4 women and 2 elderly people, in addition to nearly a hundred injured, including 24 children, 13 women, and 3 elderly people.
The occupation’s aggression was focused on populated areas, agricultural infrastructure, and the destruction of roads, highways, and infrastructure such as electricity, water, and sewage networks. At least 5 buildings were bombed and completely destroyed. About twenty houses were completely destroyed and another 314 housing units were partially demolished, of which 28 remained uninhabitable and 286 were partially damaged.
In turn, the fishing sector, considered the main source of food and employment, was completely paralyzed as the aggression prevented fishermen from getting into the sea. More than 3,000 fishermen were affected, in addition, large areas of agricultural land were bombed, as well as vegetable and poultry farms.
On the other hand, fuel stocks will soon run out, which would trigger a humanitarian crisis in several areas, be it in the health sector, in the work of the hospitals and in their ability to care for the wounded. With no electricity, no water, and no fuel, hospitals and other health services are simply paralyzed.
