The Gaza Government Press Office said in a statement that the military destroyed or rendered inoperable more than 240 health centers and institutions, including 34 hospitals.

The Strip is gradually dying of hunger and the genocide committed by the army, it warned.

In this regard, it accused the neighboring country of destroying 60 food banks and distribution centers as part of its war offensive.

In the face of the crisis, it called on the world to “stop the crimes of ethnic cleansing and attacks against civilians.”

Since the beginning of the conflict, more than 50,300 Palestinians have lost their lives due to the aggression, 30,000 of them women and children, he said.

The IDF “completely annihilated 7,200 Palestinian families, which reflects boundless brutality and demonstrates the intention” to wipe out the territory’s population, he stated.

The Office warned that the military is deliberately causing famine in the Strip by closing all border crossings since March 2, preventing the entry of food, medicine, water, fuel, and other vital goods.
