OIC Reports 313 Deaths, 737 Wounded in 7 Days in Gaza

The OIC Media Observatory for Israeli Crimes against the Palestinians documented, between November 19 and 25, 2024, numerous Israeli bombings that targeted the tents of the displaced in Al-Mawasi, in the west, the residents of Al-Tuffah neighborhood in the eastern Gaza Strip, and the Jabalia and Al-Shati camps in the northern Gaza Strip. The occupation forces also bombed Kamal Adwan Hospital in the north, particularly the emergency and reception entrances, in addition to a residential complex next to the hospital, and injured the hospital director, Hussam Abu Safia, in the aggression. The OIC Observatory reported that, 23 massacres were committed by Israel over the past week.

In a related development, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, stated that Israel had arbitrarily denied entry to 4 missions from the organization during the past days, preventing it from sending medical teams and supplies of fuel, food, water, and medicines to Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip. The number of murdered over seven days in the Gaza Strip alone reached (313), with (737) wounded. The number of Palestinian murdered since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on October 7, 2023, until November 25, 2024, reached (45,031), while the number of wounded reached (110,888).

All of this comes amidst warnings from the United Nations of the closure of dozens of bakeries inside the Strip due to the scarcity of flour. The Israeli blockade continues to prevent the entry of much needed humanitarian aid. The OIC Media Observatory pointed out that the worsening food situation in the Gaza Strip had been compounded by several factors orchestrated by Israel, including preventing the entry of humanitarian aid or rationing it and allowing a limited list of materials, in addition to allowing settlers to destroy shipments on their way to the crossings, or allowing the aid to enter and then targeting the crowds searching for food or targeting the trucks themselves after entering the Gaza Strip. Others include, targeting the committees that work to organize the distribution of aid and the “tekiyat” that distribute ready-made meals, or targeting food and goods stores, or empowering criminals and thieves inside the Strip to steal aid shipments.

The observatory also reported that heavy rain flooded the tents of displaced persons, but the civil defense’s ability to assist was hindered due to shortage of fuel, and also hindered their ability to solve the cold crisis alongside many humanitarian disasters that the Palestinians are experiencing in the Gaza Strip.

In occupied Al-Quds, Israeli extremists continued to storm the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the occupation police. Between November 18-24, a total of (1905) extremists were involved in the incursions.

The occupation forces also demolished the Al-Shiyah Mosque in the Jabal al-Mukaber neighborhood in Al-Quds, along with two houses in the Shuafat neighborhood, a garden, a hut, a studio, and a vegetable shop. The Israeli authorities approved the confiscation of 11 dunums of Palestinian land in the village of Beit Safafa, in favor of building 200 new settlement housing units.

In the West Bank, the occupation forces demolished two houses in Salfit and Hebron, occupied four houses in Jenin, Ramallah, and Kafr Aboush, and burned three houses completely in Jenin. They also demolished two agricultural rooms, retaining walls, stone chains, and beehives, uprooted 42 fruit trees in Nablus, and agricultural pens with an area of ​​350 square meters, and a water collection well. Other destructions included the uprooting of a number of trees in Hebron, and destruction of parts of the municipal stadium camp in Jenin, bulldozing of streets, destruction of parts of the infrastructure, and damage to Palestinian property in the Jenin camp. The occupation forces confiscated 520 dunums of agricultural land in the village of Afqiqis for the expansion of the “Negohuat” settlement.
