The Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza announced that 71,000 people have so far been injured since the start of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Strip.

In a press statement on Monday, the GMO warned of the escalating famine in northern Gaza, holding Israel and the US accountable for their enforced starvation policy against civilians in the besieged Strip.

“The Israeli occupation army has been preventing access to humanitarian aid in northern Gaza,” it said, stressing that delivering aid by airdrops is not the appropriate method; rather it should be done through Gaza crossings.

It highlighted that the Israeli occupation army has committed 19 types of war crimes against humanity in Gaza in addition to targeting medical facilities in the Gaza Strip, which constitutes a war crime.

The GMO revealed that the Israeli occupation army has committed 2,675 massacres against people in the Gaza Strip, with hospitals receiving 30,534 martyrs, including 13,430 children and 8,900 women.

About 364 doctors and medical staff, 48 civil defense workers, and 132 journalists have been martyred so far as a result of the Israeli aggression, the GMO statement added.

It also pointed out that the initial direct estimated losses of the war on Gaza surge to $15 billion, as more than 360,000 housing units were destroyed.

The GMO called on the international community to put pressure on Israel to stop its war of annihilation against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
