Martyrs, wounded, starvation and massive destruction due to the genocidal war in Gaza

Occupied Al- Quds, (ST) – As the genocidal war in the Gaza Strip enters its ninth month, the Israeli occupation, with the support of the United States, escalates its bombing of the Strip.

Wafa News Agency reported that during the past hours, the occupation bombed with aircraft and artillery homes in the neighborhoods of Al-Zaytoun, Tal Al-Hawa and Al-Sabra in Gaza City, the Bureij camp in the center of the Strip, Jabalia in its north, and Khan Yunis in its south, which led to the martyrdom of 27 Palestinians and the injury of dozens.

The occupation war boats bombed homes off the sea in Rafah, in the Sheikh Ajlin area, the port, and Al-Shate’ camp, west of Gaza City, while a Palestinian was martyred on Israeli gunfire on the coast of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza Strip.

Yesterday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the number of victims of the ongoing occupation aggression against Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October had risen to 36,439 martyrs and 82,627 wounded.
