More than 8,663 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 7, according to the government media office, which added that thousands more are missing under the rubble amid relentless bombardment.

The population of the Gaza Strip is 2.2 million

An overwhelming number of more than 21,000 people killed in the nearly three months of Israeli bombardment, which is the most destructive in recent history, have been civilians. Israel has repeatedly targeted schools and even neo-natal care centres were have not been spared, resulting in the killing of newborn babies.

    Gaza
    1. Civilians are being killed
    Nearly one month of relentless bombardments have brought the death toll in the Gaza Strip to 10,022, including at least 4,104 children. 2,350 people are reported missing and may be trapped under the rubble, including 1,300 children. Women and children account for 67 percent of reported
    fatalities. 25,408 people are reported injured.

    2. Mass destruction of homes
    262,000 housing units, or 43 percent of all ihousing units in the Gaza Strip, have been either destroyed or damaged since the start of the hostilities.

    3. Schools, hospitals and mosques are being bombed
    Over 51 percent of Gaza’s education facilities have been hit and 625,000 students have no access to education.

    267 education facilities reportedly damaged
    113 health facilities attacked
    11 bakeries reportedly destroyed
    16 hospitals and 32 health care center out of service
    At least 3 churches and 56 mosques
    damaged
    4. Fuel, food and water are running out
    Lack of fuel has led to full electricity blackout. The only operative mill cannot
    transform wheat due to elctrecity outages and many bakeries have either been bombed or have been forced to shut down due to the lack of fuel. People are waiting 4-6 hours to receive half of normal bread portion, and there is not enough water to go around.

    5. Increased risk of disease
    People are being forced to consume water from unsafe sources. Dehydration and waterborne diseases are becoming increasingly likely, and medicine is in short supply. There are already reports of cases of chicken pox, scabies and diarrhoea due to poor sanitation conditions and the consumption of unsafe water.

    6. Civilians in fear and panic
    They have had no voice in the hostilities, and have no safe place to go to. The endless cycle of violence has affected children’s mental health and wellbeing.

    7. Half the population told to leave their homes
    On 13 October, the Israeli army ordered more than 1 million people – half the population – to leave northern Gaza within 24 hours, in advance of an imminent military ground operation. This amounts to forcible transfer and is illegal under international law – and impossible to implement safely.

    8. 1.5 million are displaced
    The number of people who have fled their homes in Gaza is estimated at about 1,5 million, or 62 percent of the total population in the Gaza Strip. Of them, some 717,000 are sheltering in 149 UNRWA facilities

    9. Nowhere is safe in Gaza
    Despite telling Palestinians they would be safer in the south, Israel has continued to attack areas with a high civilian presence like Khan Younis and Rafah.

    Running out of Food
    “All food distributors have run out of supplies. Most commercial shops are closed. We can’t find anything in the midst of this terrible war that has entered its 33rd day, and there is no food entering Gaza. The situation is catastrophic,” Majdi al-Dishat told The Palestine Chronicle.

    Al-Dishat, a small business owner in the Nuseirat Refugee Camp said, “I closed my shop about two weeks ago for several reasons. The first reason is that the building where the shop is located was hit by an Israeli rocket, causing extensive damage to the building.

    “I have closed the shop because of the damage, but also because the goods in the shop have run out. Even the merchandise that customers weren’t interested in buying is gone,” he continued.

    Hamza Dwaidar works in the commercial area of Nuseirat.

    “I work in a medium-sized commercial store, and for about two weeks, all the merchandise in the store has run out, and there is no merchandise to sell,” he told us, adding,

    “There are no traders to supply us with goods, and there is bombing everywhere, so we have closed the shop until the war ends”.
