GAZA (Kokcha.News) — Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Gaza Civil Defense Directorate, announced that more than 6,000 Palestinians have been rendered homeless due to Israeli attacks on residential buildings in Gaza today.
Basal stated, “Over 6,000 people whose homes were targeted today have been left homeless.” He added that while Israeli forces warned residents before targeting some buildings, other homes were attacked without prior warning, leading to numerous injuries and fatalities.
Basal highlighted the dire living conditions in Gaza, where over 1 million people face constant danger due to Israel’s ongoing bombardment and destruction policies. He warned that thousands of children are at risk of death due to hunger, lack of basic necessities, and deteriorating humanitarian conditions.
Israeli forces also bombed 3 schools operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the Al-Shati Refugee Camp in western Gaza City, displacing thousands of people who had sought shelter there. Additionally, several high-rise buildings were targeted, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
The Gaza Government Media Office had previously released a statement detailing the damage caused by Israeli attacks since August 11, when the Israeli government approved its plan to occupy Gaza City. The statement noted that Israeli forces have systematically targeted civilian areas, resulting in widespread destruction.
According to the report, at least 1,600 buildings, including high-rise structures, have been completely destroyed, while 2,000 buildings have sustained severe damage. Over 13,000 tents have also been rendered unusable.
In September alone, Israeli forces have destroyed 70 buildings, severely damaged 120 others, and made 3,500 tents unusable.
