A report issued by the United Nations, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, stated that more than 9,000 women from the Gaza Strip have been killed since October 7, at the hands of the Israeli forces.

UN Women said that women in the Gaza Strip continue to suffer from the effects of the disastrous war waged by the Israeli forces since October 7, which does not spare anyone.

It noted that “the war in the Gaza Strip caused the killing and injury of women in unprecedented ways.” Stating: “It is reported that many women have died and are still under the rubble.”

The UN report explained: “Every day that the war on Gaza continues at its current rate, the occupation forces will kill an average of 63 women per day, and the Israeli forces will kill approximately 37 mothers on a daily basis, leaving behind devastated families and children without protection.”

It indicated that more than 4 out of every 5 women (84%) whose families eat half or less of the amount of food they were accustomed to before the war began.

It stated that about 4 out of every 5 women (84%) in Gaza reported that at least one of their family members had missed meals during the past week, and in 95% of cases, mothers are the ones who do not eat, and miss at least one meal to feed their children. .

It pointed out that all of Gaza's 2.3 million residents will face severe levels of food insecurity within weeks, which is the highest level ever recorded while Gaza is on the brink of famine.

It continued: “While 10 out of 12 women’s organizations included in the survey in Gaza reported that they are working partially and providing the basic emergency response.”

It added: “Despite the extraordinary efforts made by these organizations, less than 1% of the funding raised through the 2023 Flash Appeal has been directed to national or local women’s rights organizations.”

“Directing funding to these organizations is critical to meeting the enormous needs of women, their families and communities, and to ensure that the voices of women in Gaza are not overlooked,” the UN report stressed.

The United Nations stressed that unless there is an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, more people will die in Gaza in the coming days and weeks, stressing the need for the killing, bombing, and destruction of basic infrastructure to stop and for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza and all its parts immediately.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the Israeli army “committed nine massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, claiming 83 killed and 142 injured during the past 24 hours.”

The Ministry confirmed in a press statement received by Quds Press today, Thursday, that “the death toll of the Israeli aggression has risen to 30,800 people and 72,298 injured since the seventh of last October.”

It pointed out that there are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the roads, and the Israeli army is preventing ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.

For the 153rd day in a row, the Israeli army continues its aggression against the Gaza Strip, with American and European support, since the seventh of last October, as its planes bomb the vicinity of hospitals, buildings, towers, and homes of Palestinian civilians, destroying them above the heads of their residents, and preventing the entry of water, food, medicine, and fuel.
