Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have murdered with cold blood 9,500 people in the Gaza Strip throughout the 30 days of aggression on the blockaded strip, the Government Media Office in Gaza reported on Saturday.
Salama Marouf, the director of the office, said Saturday evening that the total number of martyrs from the aggression has risen to 9,500, including 3,900 children and 2,509 women.
Marouf also announced that Israeli airstrikes have destroyed 55 mosques, three universities, three churches, and five buildings belonging to the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs in Gaza.
Regarding the medical sector's losses, Marouf noted that 16 hospitals, 32 primary care centers, 27 ambulances, and 105 medical facilities had been affected.
In terms of residential buildings, Israeli airstrikes have destroyed 8,500 homes and 40,000 residential units, with an additional 220,000 units sustaining damages. Additionally, 88 government offices and 220 schools, 60 of which are now out of service, have been affected.
The Israeli occupation continues to bombard residential areas, hospitals, ambulances, UN schools, as well as vital infrastructure in the Gaza Strip amid a stifling blockade that has banned the entry of vital resources, such as fuel, food, and medicine, with the health sector being seriously jeopardized by the stifling siege.
Stifling aggression
The Israeli occupation is working to obliterate all aspects of life in Gaza, committing massacres in the process, Marouf said.
He warned of the occupation's hidden intent to bomb more hospitals, calling for immediate intervention to supply hospitals with fuel to save lives.
Gaza Palestinian Ministry of Health spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra said the Israeli occupation "committed 10 major massacres over the past few hours," which he said resulted in the martyrdom of 231 people. He also noted that the number of massacres intentionally committed by the Israeli occupation against the people of Gaza has reached 1,006.
Al-Qudra mentioned that 70% of the victims of the Israeli aggression were women, children, and the elderly. There have been 2,000 reports of missing persons, including 1,250 children, all of whom are likely still under the rubble.
He also revealed that the IOF committed a massacre at Al-Fakhoura school in Gaza, noting that this act of aggression left 15 martyred and dozens of others injured.
