Numbers Expose International Inaction
NYN | Reports and Analyses
The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has entered its second year and third consecutive day, leaving behind a horrifying humanitarian scene that reveals the scale of the tragedy endured by over two million Palestinians under relentless bombardment and siege.
The brutal assault has resulted in the martyrdom of 67,173 Palestinians, including 20,179 children, 10,427 women, 4,813 elderly, and 31,754 men.
Additionally, 169,780 people have been injured with varying degrees of severity, leaving thousands of families grappling with the pain of losing loved ones and dealing with permanent injuries.
The Israeli aggression has also displaced more than 2,100,000 Palestinians within the Strip, after losing their homes and sources of livelihood, in one of the largest displacement waves seen in the Palestinian territories in decades.
Famine and dire humanitarian conditions have led to the deaths of 460 people, including 154 children, while 51,196 children under the age of five suffer from acute malnutrition due to the blockade and the halt in food and medical aid.
According to the Government Media Office in Gaza, Israeli occupation forces kill 18 students and one teacher daily, turning schools into death zones and making education a distant dream under constant bombardment.
The crimes have not been limited to loss of life alone. Every day, 367 housing units are destroyed, rendering 394 families homeless daily and leaving thousands of Palestinians without shelter to protect them from the cold of night and the scorching heat of day.
The report also noted that Israeli forces demolish more than one mosque per day, target shelters and displacement centers every three days, and destroy central water wells daily, exacerbating the water crisis and making access to clean drinking water a daily survival challenge.
In terms of infrastructure, the office revealed that Israeli forces destroy approximately 7 kilometers of electricity networks, 959 meters of water and sewage networks, and 4,000 meters of roads every day. This has severely restricted the movement of civilians, exposed them to danger, and obstructed the delivery of humanitarian aid to devastated areas.
These daily statistics expose a systematic policy of civilian eradication and impoverishment of the Palestinian people, as the Gaza Strip has been transformed into a landscape of destruction and continuous loss—while the international community remains incapable of providing adequate support for relief and reconstruction.
This ongoing suffering stands as a stark witness to a humanitarian catastrophe the region has not seen in decades, amid warnings that the continuation of Israeli aggression into a third year—should the recent truce and agreement be broken—could lead to an even greater disaster, threatening Palestinian civilian lives on an unprecedented scale.
