More than 22,400 people are killed and 57,600 injured in the Israeli siege in Gaza

Gaza

The Gaza Strip Health Ministry reported that 22,438 Palestinian civilians were murdered and 57,614 injured, including about 7,000 missing, after 89 days of Zionist aggression against the territory from October 7 to date.

The data appears in the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) daily report on the situation in Gaza, which highlights that 70 percent of the victims are women and children. In the last 24 hours, the Zionists murdered another 125 civilians.

He pointed out that many of the missing were buried under the rubble caused by the indiscriminate bombing of all areas of the Gaza Strip by Israeli occupation forces.

The organization denounced that the United Nations and the humanitarian organizations working under its coordination on the ground had been unable to provide vital and urgent humanitarian assistance for three days until this Wednesday due to delays and denial of access by the occupiers in the northern Gaza Strip to the danger posed by bombings by sea, land and air, and to the clashes between the occupiers and fighters from the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement Hamas.

He added that this outstanding aid includes life-saving medicines for more than 100,000 Palestinians for 30 days, as well as eight trucks of food for people “who are currently suffering from catastrophic and life-threatening food insecurity.”

The United Nations estimates that 1.9 million Gazans will be internally displaced in 2024, and many of them have been forcibly displaced multiple times to survive the attacks in Tel Aviv.

Nearly 1.4 million internally displaced people have sought refuge in 155 United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) facilities across Gaza's five governorates, with the Rafah (South) region currently the main refuge.

More than a million people currently live in this small area, which is severely overpopulated due to the displacement of those who fled escalating fighting in Kan Yunis and Deir al Balah and the Israeli military's evacuation orders to continue their bombing.
