The Government Information Office in Gaza said that the direct losses of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip to date have exceeded 30 billion dollars, and that the number of victims of the Israeli aggression - martyrs, wounded and missing - has so far reached about 110 thousand.
He stressed that 90% of the population of the Gaza Strip have become displaced, and that the occupation committed 2,721 massacres during the past 155 days of aggression against the Gaza Strip, causing the death and loss of 30,960 people, including 13,500 children and 9,000 women.
He pointed out that 364 medical teams, 48 civil defense personnel, and 133 journalists were martyred, while 23 children were martyred due to famine, and the number of injured reached 72,524.
Red Cross warns
For its part, the International Committee of the Red Cross said on Saturday that the war in the Gaza Strip has destroyed “all meanings of common humanity,” and warned that the conditions in the Strip are in a state of continuous deterioration as there is no safe place for people to turn to.
She added that in light of this brutal war, the committee launched 3 urgent calls, the first of which was to stop hostilities with the aim of allowing aid to reach those in need, as well as treating Palestinian detainees humanely, allowing the International Committee to visit them and granting them the right to communicate with their families.
The committee also called for the unconditional release of Israeli detainees held by Hamas, preserving their dignity and safety, and meeting their medical needs.

UNRWA: We face the danger of dissolution
In turn, the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that the agency faces the risk of dissolution after countries suspended its funding.
Lazzarini added that the Palestinians in Gaza, who are facing unprecedented humanitarian conditions, have their fate at stake.
On the other hand, the mayor of Jabalia, Mazen Al-Najjar, said that the aid being dropped by air does not meet the need.
He added in an interview with Al Jazeera that the solution is to open the crossings, and that what is happening is starvation of the Palestinian people.
Israel does not allow aid trucks to enter from Egypt except in small quantities, according to the United Nations, which warns that 2.2 million Palestinians out of the 2.4 million residents of the small Strip are threatened by famine, with a major shortage of food and drinking water.
