GAZA — The Government Media Office in Gaza reported that Israel’s genocide has killed more than 61,000 people and displaced over two million. The office detailed the toll during a press conference at Al-Shifa Hospital on Sunday.
At least 47,487 victims arrived at hospitals, while 14,222 remain missing under rubble or in the streets. The number of wounded has reached 111,588.
Israeli forces have kidnapped over 6,000 Palestinians, subjecting them to severe abuse and torture. Dozens have died in custody. Forced displacement has affected over two million people, some uprooted more than 25 times under dire conditions.
Genocide Against Women and Children
The genocide has taken a devastating toll on children and women. Among the dead are 17,881 children, including 214 newborns who died amid the attacks. Over 38,000 children have been orphaned, with 17,000 losing both parents. Israeli forces have also killed 12,316 women.
Israeli bombings have wiped out entire families. The report recorded 9,268 massacres against families, erasing 2,092 families from civil records. Another 4,889 families were nearly wiped out, leaving only one survivor in each case.
Attacks on First Responders and Infrastructure
Israeli strikes have killed 1,155 medical workers, 205 journalists, and 194 civil defense personnel. More than 150,000 housing units have been damaged.
Israel’s war has also decimated Gaza’s healthcare system. At least 34 hospitals are out of service. The transportation sector has suffered losses exceeding $1.5 billion.
Education Under Attack
Israeli airstrikes have damaged 1,661 educational institutions, including 927 schools, universities, and daycare centers that were completely destroyed. Another 734 facilities suffered partial damage. The war has killed 12,800 students and nearly 800 educators. Around 785,000 students have been denied access to education.
The Government Media Office declared Gaza a disaster zone, warning that basic survival resources have collapsed. It urged international intervention to save 2.4 million people at risk of starvation, dehydration, and disease.
The office placed full responsibility on Israel, the Biden administration, and all those who have politically, economically, and militarily supported Israel’s actions.
Authorities in Gaza have outlined a post-war reconstruction plan in coordination with local and international organizations. They are calling for urgent relief, including the entry of 200,000 tents, 60,000 mobile homes, and essential shelter supplies. — QNN
