This is according to Friday's statement by the Information Department of the Government of Gaza, which revealed that another 30,000 people have been injured, and among them 75 percent are women. The statement said there are 3,750 missing people, including 1,800 children who are still under the rubble. The exact number of dead in Gaza is not known due to the collapse of its health system. The press office has said that at least 200 doctors, nurses and health workers have been killed in Israel's brutal war against Gaza. At least 51 journalists and media representatives have been killed, the press office said. Meanwhile, there is no sign of a ceasefire despite international calls for a ceasefire or at least a temporary ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid to flow through. The Ministry of Health in Gaza has said that 24 patients have died in the last two days at the Al-Shifa hospital due to a power outage, while Israeli soldiers continue to prevent the medical center from providing services to patients.

The sad situation in the Gaza Strip Israel attacked the hospital earlier this week, claiming that Hamas is using it and its territory as a military command post. Hamas has denied the baseless claims that it is using the hospital for military purposes. It says some of the hostages have received treatment at medical facilities but are not being held in those facilities. Israel has bombarded much of Gaza and reduced it to rubble, where it has ordered the evacuation of half of the population in the north of the strip, leaving nearly two-thirds of Gazans homeless. International officials say the humanitarian crisis for Gaza's 2.3 million residents is entering a new and worse phase as Israel's war is allowed to continue.
