The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that more than 263,934 citizens were displaced from their homes, as a result of the continuous Israeli bombing by air, land and sea on the Gaza Strip.

OCHA explained that the bombing operations destroyed more than 1,000 housing units, while causing severe damage to 560 units, rendering them uninhabitable.

It indicated that approximately 175,000 of those displaced people took refuge in 88 schools run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), and more than 14,500 others in 12 government schools, while about 74,000 are believed to be residing with relatives and neighbors or have taken refuge in churches and other facilities.

OCHA said, “The number of displaced people inside Gaza “represents the largest number of displaced people since the 50-day escalation in 2014.”

OCHA warned that "meeting basic needs has become more difficult for those who have not been displaced."

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his concern after Israel announced the complete blockade, especially due to the already deteriorating humanitarian situation in the poor sector.

The number of martyrs among our people as a result of the ongoing and comprehensive Israeli occupation aggression against the Gaza Strip and the West Bank rose to 922 martyrs, while the number of wounded reached about 4,650 wounded.

According to data issued by the Ministry of Health and Hospitals, 900 martyrs were killed in the Gaza Strip, including 260 children and 230 women, and 4,500 others were injured with various injuries in the ongoing occupation raids throughout the Strip, since last Saturday. In the West Bank, 22 were martyred, and about 150 others were injured.
