Since the start of the Israeli airstrikes on October 7, GAZA,  more than 2,750 Palestinians have been killed and over 9,700 have been injured.

Meanwhile, Hamas attacks on Israel killed more than 1,400 and injured hundreds.

For 10 days in a row, the Israeli occupation has cut off water, food, and electricity for the Palestinians in the strip and rained missiles on Gaza round the clock, destroying hundreds of homes and leaving a million people without shelter.
