Around 10 property buildings in Gaza and civilian facilities, such as medical facilities, were ruined by the Israeli army and civilians were killed. The Palestinian Ministry of Health specified that nearly 400 people, consisting of kids, were eliminated as a result of Israeli attacks, while more than 2 thousand others were injured.
The UN firm for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) specified that there are almost 74 thousand refugees in 64 UNRWA shelters. That figure is most likely to increase, as heavy attacks and airstrikes continue, including in civilian locations.
