Gaza hospitals received 320 dead or wounded in 48 hours

The Government Media Office in Gaza says in a statement that at least 320 dead or wounded Palestinians have been brought to hospitals across the enclave in a particularly bloody 48 hours.

It quoted healthcare officials as saying that many of the dead and injured arrived with third-degree burns caused by internationally banned weapons like thermal bombs.

“These weapons cause chemical substances to interact with the skin and directly cause chemical corrosion of the tissues in the bodies of the martyrs and the injured. They also cause severe pain.”

The office said many victims die in a little more than a day after being wounded by such weapons, adding that it holds Washington fully responsible for arming Israel and causing the many “massacres” committed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip.

UNRWA official: Many Palestinians in Gaza can no longer afford to flee violence

  • At this moment, nine out of every 10 people in Gaza are displaced and almost everyone has been forced to flee, over and over.
  • On average, people in Gaza have had to move at least once a month.
  • “The term ‘displacement’ sounds very sterile, and I don’t think does justice to what people go through when they move. People are often only able to take whatever they can carry, and they’re mostly on foot and some are only able to carry their children and many have lost everything and they need everything.”
  • Every time people are repeatedly displaced, they lose a little bit of their wealth and a little bit of their worldly possessions.
  • “When I was in Gaza City last Friday talking to people who are displaced, they simply told me they can’t afford to move anymore and they’re very much stuck where they are.”
