On Wednesday, the Israeli army began a ground incursion into the Bureij camp in the eastern region of the central Gaza Strip, while aircraft carried out dozens of raids targeting the Bureij and Al-Maghazi camps, and the continuous artillery shelling pushed thousands of Palestinians to flee towards Deir Al-Balah and Rafah.

Dozens of tanks were stationed in the area adjacent to the border, and continued to fire shells and fire towards the camp’s inhabited neighborhoods, including Badr, Al-Nuzha, Al-Zahra’, Al-Buraq, Al-Rawda, and Al-Safa, in Al-Bureij and parts of Al-Maghazi camps and the eastern area of Salah Al-Din Street in Al-Nuseirat camp. The army also blew up more than 10 houses in the central region.

About 30,000 people live in those areas, which the army ordered, at dawn on Wednesday, to be evacuated, all of them refugees from the territories occupied in 1948.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Wednesday that the number of dead since October 7 in the Strip had risen to 21,110 people, while raids and artillery shelling wounded 55,243 others.

The ministry said that 195 people were killed and 325 were injured during the last 24 hours.

The Gaza government media office said on Tuesday that more than 7,000 people are still missing under the rubble, while the number of displaced people who left their homes exceeded 1.8 million.

The office said, in a statement, that the victims included more than 8,500 children, more than 6,300 women, 311 medical personnel, 40 civil defense personnel, and 103 journalists.

The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics estimated the value of losses in Palestine since the start of the war at approximately $1.5 billion.
