The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced on Sunday that about one million citizens were displaced in the Gaza Strip during the first week of the Israeli occupation’s aggression against our people.

The agency's communications director, Juliette Touma, told Agence France-Presse, "An estimated one million people were displaced in the first seven days" of the escalation in Gaza.

According to UNRWA, this number is likely to increase as residents continue to leave their homes for fear of the ongoing Israeli bombing since October 7th.

In a not final outcome, the Ministry of Health announced today that the number of martyrs among our people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank has risen to 2,384, and the number of wounded has risen to about 10,250, since the beginning of the aggression on the seventh of this October.

The Ministry of Health explained in a press statement that the number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip rose to 2,329, the majority of whom were children and women, while the number of wounded reached 9,042.

In the West Bank, the number of martyrs rose to 55, after the announcement yesterday of the death of the child Muhammad Rifaat Adwan (16 years old) in Tulkarm Governorate, while the number of wounded rose to more than 1,200.
