The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that 7 percent of the Strip's total population of 2.4 million people have been killed or wounded in the ongoing genocidal war.
"About 7% of the total population of the Gaza Strip have become victims of the genocidal war, either dead or wounded," the ministry's director general, Munir al-Barash, said in a statement.
He explained that more than 25,000 of the total number of injured people require "long-term rehabilitation and treatment."
He stated that the number of amputations among the injured reached approximately 4,700, including 850 children.
He warned of a further deterioration in the situation in the Gaza Strip, due to "the comprehensive blockade imposed by the occupation forces on both the health and humanitarian levels."
He stressed that hospitals are no longer able to cope with the "massive influx of casualties arriving due to their lack of even the most basic medical equipment and capabilities amid the escalating Israeli aggression."
Since March 2, Israel has closed the Gaza Strip's crossings to relief, humanitarian, medical, and goods, leading to a deterioration in the humanitarian situation in the Strip.
Israel also prevented the entry of fuel to power generators that replace electricity, threatening the operation of hospitals.
The Government Media Office has repeatedly warned of the dangers of the crossing closures to hospital operations, the deteriorating health conditions in the Gaza Strip, and the humanitarian situation in general. Last week, it announced that the Gaza Strip had entered the first stages of famine.
Since resuming its genocide in Gaza on Tuesday and continuing through Sunday, Israel has killed 673 people and injured 1,233 others, most of them women and children, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.
This escalation, which Tel Aviv said was taking place in full coordination with Washington, represents the most significant violation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, the second phase of which Israel has refrained from implementing since the first phase expired in early March.
Despite Hamas's commitment to all terms of the agreement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to proceed with the second phase, yielding to pressure from extremists within his government.
The Israeli war on Gaza left more than 162,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.
