Gaza’s Government Media Office revealed its latest numbers regarding the war on Gaza, saying there are 3,388 recorded massacres, 38,345 martyrs, 16,054 of whom are child martyrs and 10,700 are women. 

Additionally, the Media Office revealed that there are 88,295 wounded Palestinians, 70% of whom are women and children, 17,000 children are now living without one or both of their parents, and 12,000 wounded people need to travel for treatment abroad.

As the health situation in the Strip worsens, the media office revealed that 71,338 people have been infected with viral hepatitis due to displacement across various parts of the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war on October 7.

Additionally, more than 1.7 million Palestinians have contracted infectious diseases due to the harsh displacement conditions. The report also noted that 350,000 people with chronic diseases in Gaza face significant risks due to the Israeli army's prevention of necessary medications from entering the area.

Additionally, 3,500 children are at risk of death due to malnutrition and lack of food, and 10,000 cancer patients need immediate treatment. Also, 3,000 patients with various diseases require treatment abroad, and nearly 60,000 pregnant women are at risk due to lack of access to healthcare.

Furthermore, 350,000 chronic patients are endangered by the prevention of medicines from entering Gaza. The health crisis is exacerbated by the fact that 34 hospitals and 66 health centers are now out of service due to occupation bombing. In total, 161 health institutions have been targeted, 131 ambulances have been attacked, 500 medical personnel have been killed and 34 Palestinians have died from famine. 

The numbers reveal additional martyrs and detentions: 75 civil defense martyrs, 158 martyred journalists, 310 detained medical personnel, and 23 known cases of journalists who have been detained.

According to Gaza's Government Media Office, the Israeli occupation dug up seven mass graves inside hospitals, from which 520 martyrs were recovered.

Additionally, 159 shelters were targeted, 5,000 people detained, and two million displaced in the Gaza Strip. The occupation also destroyed 197 government headquarters, 115 schools, as well as universities completely, and 328 partially.

Furthermore, 609 mosques were destroyed, 211 were partially destroyed, and three churches were destroyed. Housing destruction includes 150,000 units completely destroyed, 80,000 now uninhabitable, and 200,000 partially destroyed.

That said, the occupation has long targeted the Palestinian culture and heritage, dropping 80,000 tons of explosives on Gaza, destroying 206 archaeological and heritage sites, and 3,030 kilometers of electricity networks.

"Israel" has caused damage worth $33 billion against Gaza, the statement said.
