Gaza – The government media office in the Gaza Strip announced yesterday, Thursday, that the Israeli war led to direct losses of 33 billion dollars.
This came in a statement by the media office on the occasion of the 300th day of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
The statement said: “We are facing a deep and complex humanitarian crisis that has affected all aspects of life in Gaza, where the direct initial losses from the genocidal war have exceeded $33 billion so far, in addition to tens of billions of dollars in indirect losses.”
The statement described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as “catastrophic in every sense of the word, as the humanitarian crisis is worsening and deepening in an unprecedented manner.”
He explained that “Israel’s policies of closing the crossings and preventing the entry of aid, medicines, goods and merchandise have exacerbated the food crisis and reinforced the policy of starvation and malnutrition, especially against thousands of children.”
He added: “The occupation’s crime of closing the crossings caused a real humanitarian disaster by preventing more than 25,000 wounded and sick people from traveling to receive treatment.”
** Mass graves
The statement pointed out that Israel “destroyed hospitals, burned them, and put them out of service, and established 7 mass graves inside them, specifically in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, the Nasser Medical Complex, and Kamal Adwan Hospital.”
He pointed out that “there are about two million displaced people in Gaza living a very harsh and difficult life.”
He stated that “dozens of different diseases are spreading among the displaced, the most dangerous of which are polio and viral hepatitis.”
Regarding the educational reality in Gaza in light of the war, the statement said, “More than 800,000 male and female students were deprived of education because Israel completely destroyed 117 schools and universities, and partially destroyed 332 schools and universities.”
He added, “More than 39 male and female students were prevented from taking the secondary school exams.”
** Housing disaster
On the housing front, the statement said that Israel “caused an unprecedented humanitarian disaster in the entire world, as it completely destroyed 150,000 housing units, destroyed 80,000 housing units in a way that was uninhabitable, and partially damaged 200,000 housing units.”
The statement also said that Israel “destroyed more than 206 archaeological and heritage sites” in Gaza.
It also destroyed 25,000 kilometers of electricity, water, sewage networks, roads and streets “intentionally and according to a well-thought-out destructive plan.”
He pointed out that “the occupation deliberately destroyed 70 water wells and put them completely out of service, so that obtaining water in the Gaza Strip has become a very big and difficult issue.”
In addition, the statement stated that Israel destroyed 610 mosques completely, 211 mosques partially, and also destroyed 3 churches.
** 3457 massacres
Regarding the victims of this war, the statement stated that Israel “committed 3,457 massacres, resulting in 49,480 martyrs and missing persons, including about 10,000 missing persons under the rubble of destroyed buildings.”
He added that among them, “39,480 martyrs arrived at hospitals, including 16,314 child martyrs and 10,980 female martyrs, with the percentage of children and women among the victims reaching 69 percent.”
The statement pointed out that the Israeli army killed 885 doctors and medical staff, 79 civil defense personnel, and 165 journalists and media professionals during the war.
He added that the army “executed more than 100 distinguished scientists, university professors and researchers in Gaza.”
In its statement, the Government Media Office held Israel and the US administration “fully responsible for the profound humanitarian catastrophe that has been created in the Gaza Strip as a result of the genocidal war.”
He called on the US administration to “stop supplying the occupation with missiles and bombs to kill civilians, children and women” in Gaza.
He also called on “the international community and all UN and international organizations to pressure the occupation to stop this brutal aggression and stop the crime of genocide that the Israeli occupation army has been carrying out for the three hundredth consecutive day without stopping.”
In contempt of the international community, Israel has continued its war since October 7 with American support, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to stop it immediately, and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and to improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
