MORE than 90,000 Palestinians have been killed or injured in Gaza after more than 120 days of the devastating Israeli assault, according to authorities.

Palestinian authorities in Gaza said that Israeli forces carried out about 2,325 massacres, killed more than 27,365 people and injured another 67,000 since invading Gaza following the attack by Hamas on October 7, which killed about 1,200 people and took 240 hostage.

The Gaza Health Ministry said that about 12,000 children and 8,190 women, as well as 399 health workers, 46 civil defence workers, and 122 media workers had been killed. But it warned the true figures are likely to be far higher as several thousand are still missing, likely trapped or dead under bombed-out buildings.

More than 11,000 Palestinians reportedly urgently need to leave the besieged enclave to receive life-saving treatment and about 10,000 cancer patients are at risk of dying as a result of medication shortages.

The ministry also says that 350,000 chronic patients are threatened, while 60,000 pregnant women lack important medical care.

Israeli forces have also been accused of destroying about 70,000 homes and partially destroying 290,000 others, forcing more than two million Palestinians to flee from their homes.

The displacement of Palestinians has exposed more than 700,000 people to infectious diseases resulting from unhygienic conditions whilst the Israelis have blocked most humanitarian aid from reaching the desperate Palestinians.

The ministry said there has also been massive damage to buildings in Gaza.

They said that Israel is responsible for destroying 140 government headquarters and a hundred schools and universities, in addition to damaging another 295.

Meanwhile, Israeli military operations against the Palestinians have continued beyond Gaza.

A new report by the Colonisation and Resistance to the Wall Commission accused the Israeli army of demolishing 58 Palestinian structures in January in the occupied areas of the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The organisation’s annual report said that 22 of the structures were inhabited homes, two were uninhabited, and 16 were agricultural facilities.

The report said the demolitions were concentrated in Hebron, Bethlehem, Jerusalem and Qalqilya.

Research by Palestinian academic Fakhri Abu Diab said that since 1967, Israel has confiscated 35 per cent of East Jerusalem which was home to 340,000 Palestinians and some 220,000 Israeli settlers.
