Gaza has endured 700 days of relentless Israeli bombardment which has left nearly 90% of the territory’s infrastructure destroyed and inflicted losses exceeding $68 billion, the territory’s Government Media Office said Saturday. The prolonged military campaign has killed at least 64,400 Palestinians and injured more than 162,000, according to the Health Ministry.
In a statement, the office said the deadly campaign has resulted in the destruction of about 90% of Gaza's infrastructure, alongside "systematic policies of genocide and forced displacement."
It said that more than 73,700 people have been killed or remain missing, including over 20,000 children and 12,500 women. According to the office, 2,700 families have been completely wiped from the civil registry.
Among the dead are 1,670 medical personnel, 248 journalists, 139 civil defense members, and 173 municipal employees. More than 162,000 others have been wounded, many suffering life-changing injuries such as amputations, paralysis and loss of sight.
The office also cited the destruction of 38 hospitals, 833 mosques, and 163 educational institutions, alongside widespread damage to thousands of other public facilities.
