Marking the first anniversary of the genocidal attack on war-torn Gaza and the occupied West Bank that began on October 7, 2023.
On the first anniversary of the genocidal attack on Gaza that began on October 7, 2023, the Palestinian government’s media office revealed that Israel has committed nearly 42,000 massacres throughout the year, leading to a humanitarian disaster marked by the destruction of essential infrastructure, including schools and hospitals.
According to various sources, the conflict has resulted in the killing of over 1.8 percent of the total population. Among these casualties, around 24 percent are youngsters, highlighting the disproportionate impact on children and adolescents.
In a violation of international law, Israel deliberately has attacked schools, mosques and hospitals in the Gaza Strip.
The assault on educational and medical facilities has been particularly devastating.
Palestinian officials report that 80 percent of schools have been at least partially destroyed in Gaza.
From mid-April 2024, data shows that more than 6,500 students and 756 teachers have been killed.
31 out of 36 have sustained or faced destruction, and 16 are partially operational due to a lack of medication and employees.
