The Israeli genocidal war on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has resulted in the martyrdom of 42,885 people and injured another, the Government's Media Office in Gaza revealed. 

The Israeli war of genocide

Israeli occupation forces committed at least 3,738 massacres in the Gaza Strip, throughout the 385 days of war. 

The Media Office has made clear that the 42,885 martyrs in Gaza only include those who have been transferred to hospitals for burial and whose identities were confirmed by authorities. Additionally, 10,000 individuals were reported missing throughout the war, many of whom have been killed and their bodies have not been found or remain stuck underneath the rubble. 

Moreover, 17,210 children have been martyred since the start of the war on Gaza. The Media Office shared additional details stating that 1,047 medical workers, 85 emergency workers, and 177 journalists have been martyred. 

At least 1,206 households have had their entire family members killed by Israeli occupation forces. 

As for the effects of the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip and the blocking of crucial humanitarian aid, 37 Palestinians were starved to death, while 3,500 Palestinian children are in life-threatening conditions due to malnutrition.

Destroying vital infrastructure, killing essential workers

In terms of the systematic destruction of the besieged territory's vital infrastructure, Israeli occupation forces attacked 197 shelter centers, forced 34 hospitals out of service, destroyed 205 governmental headquarters, and destroyed 126 schools and universities. 

The occupation forces launched an arrest campaign from the Gaza Strip that affected 5,280 people, including 310 health workers and 38 journalists whose names were known.

Continuous besiegement of hospitals

In Beit Lahia, the Kamal Adwan Hospital is facing an increasingly "alarming"  situation, where Israeli occupation forces have besieged the medical center. 

A total of 600 individuals are besieged within the hospital, which goes hand in hand with the Israeli occupation's continued attempts to ethnically cleanse the northern Gaza Strip. 

The Ministry of Health reported that three ambulances and a transport vehicle were destroyed, hindering relief and transportation operations. The solar system in the hospital was also destroyed, further worsening the situation. Moreover, Israeli occupation forces continue to terrorize medical staff, patients, and companions in the hospital, by firing their weapons and assaulting individuals. 

These circumstances "require urgent intervention by humanitarian organizations, to ensure everyone's safety," the ministry urged.
