The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed that for every square kilometer in the Gaza Strip, about 274 citizens were martyred, injured, or missing as a result of the devastating and ongoing Israeli aggression since the seventh of last October.

UNRWA said in a statement: “You can imagine if these numbers were in the surroundings in which you live, to paint a picture of the tragedy, fear, anxiety and shock that people in Gaza are experiencing,” stressing the necessity of an immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons.

Last Monday, the government Information Office in Gaza announced that the occupation army had committed 2,675 massacres over the course of 150 days of annihilation war on the Strip. It resulted in 37,534 missing martyrs, including 30,534 martyrs who arrived in hospitals.

According to government data, 70% of the missing are children and women, and 17,000 children live without their parents or one of them.

While 11,000 wounded people need to travel for treatment, and these cases are life-saving or serious cases, in addition to 10,000 cancer patients who face the risk of death.

During the same period, the enemy army dropped 70,000 tons of explosives on the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the complete destruction of 70,000 housing units, and 290,000 housing units became uninhabitable.
