Gaza: widespread destruction | - dailyyemen

The Director General of the Government Media Office in Gaza, Ismail al-Thawabta, revealed the toll of the genocidal war waged by the Israeli enemy on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, confirming that it has left widespread destruction and unprecedented human and material losses, amid continued international support for the enemy and the international community’s inability to stop it.

Speaking during the “Pulse of Gaza” program organized by the newspaper Falastin on Sunday, al-Thawabta said that Israeli enemy forces bombed the al-Mawasi area, which they had described as “safe,” 241 times, and dropped more than 232,000 tons of high explosives on the Gaza Strip, leading to widespread destruction of infrastructure and a large number of casualties.

He explained that more than 2,000 families were completely erased from the civil registry after all their members were killed, including 8,574 martyrs from those families. Another 6,020 families were left bereaved, with only one survivor remaining, in addition to thousands of missing persons still buried under the rubble. He added that children and women constitute more than 55% of the total number of martyrs, including more than 21,500 children and 12,000 women, in addition to 1,022 infants under one year old, and 520 children born during the war who were killed in it. He also noted that more than 2,700 children lost their parents, and more than 22,000 fathers were killed.
