The Israeli war on Gaza left 110,000 casualties and losses exceeding $30 billion

The government media office in Gaza revealed that the number of victims of the ongoing Israeli war since October 7, 2023 has risen to 110,000 martyrs, wounded and missing, while 90% of Gaza’s population has been displaced, and losses in infrastructure, facilities and housing have exceeded $30 billion.

The government media office in Gaza announced on Saturday that the number of victims of the Israeli war, which has been ongoing since October 7, 2023, has risen to 110,000 martyrs, wounded and missing, in addition to the displacement of 90% of the Strip’s population.

The office said, in a statement, that the war caused the displacement of 90% of the population of the Gaza Strip after they were forced to leave their homes that were unsafe from the Israeli bombing.

Regarding the direct damages and losses recorded to date, the office said that they amounted to more than $30 billion, including damage to housing, facilities, and infrastructure, including road, electricity, water, and sewage networks, according to the statement.

On Saturday, the Israeli occupation bombed one of the largest residential towers in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, according to a number of residents, in an escalation of pressure on the last area in the Strip that has not yet been invaded, where more than a million displaced Palestinians reside.

The 12-storey building, which is about 500 meters from the border with Egypt, was damaged as a result of the attack. Residents said that dozens of families were left homeless, without any injuries reported. The Israeli occupation army has not yet responded to requests for comment.

A resident of the tower, which was home to about 300 people, said that the Israeli occupation gave them a warning and gave them 30 minutes to flee the building at night.

An official from the Fatah movement - which makes up the Palestinian Authority - present in Rafah - expressed his fear that the attack on the tower in Rafah was an indication of an imminent Israeli invasion.

The Israeli occupation is waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, which has left tens of thousands of victims, most of them children and women, in addition to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe and a noticeable deterioration in infrastructure and property, according to Palestinian and UN data, which led to Israel being brought before the International Court of Justice on charges of committing genocide.
