The Toll of Conflict in Gaza
The situation in Gaza has led to a staggering death toll, with over 41,000 people reported killed, including a significant number of women and children. Specific incidents have highlighted the brutality of the conflict, such as the bombing of a bread line and a UN shelter, resulting in numerous civilian casualties and injuries. The destruction of schools and cultural sites adds to the devastation, with reports indicating that 85% of schools have been destroyed while universities have suffered severe damage. This violence and destruction serve to not only inflict immediate harm but also erase the history and cultural identity of the Palestinian people.
