The Israeli occupation army continued its aggression against the Gaza Strip for the 184th day in a row, by land, sea and air, which led to the death of 33,175 Palestinians, the majority of whom were children and women, and 75,886 injured, an infinite toll, amid complete destruction of infrastructure and an unprecedented humanitarian tragedy. Hundreds of thousands of residents of the Gaza Strip live in very difficult conditions in the absence of water and electricity, and the occupation authorities prevent humanitarian aid from reaching them.
