In a scene that reflects the extent of the humanitarian massacre committed by the occupation against civilians in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the current aggression, the statistics of losses in this aggression on its eleventh day have exceeded all the damages and losses suffered by our people in all the wars and aggressions launched by the occupation on Gaza, which lasted for nearly a hundred days in the years 2008-2009, 2012, 2014, 2021.
The assessment of damages includes the numbers of martyrs, the injured, the destruction of residential units, facilities, public infrastructure, and economic losses, in addition to the unprecedented humanitarian situation during previous aggressions, by preventing all vital, necessary, and medical supplies.
This catastrophic humanitarian situation is accompanied by a clear decline in international positions towards this crime against humanity, which requires serious and immediate steps from the international community and its organizations to stop the ethnic cleansing crime committed by the occupation against our people, and to quickly respond to the appeals to provide relief assistance to citizens and humanitarian aid to various service sectors.
