More than 40,000 people were killed in the Gaza War, which began in October last year, and 10,000 of them were children.


The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid and Oxfam, an international relief organization, said the war killed 41,825 people.

Of the 34,000 people identified, 1,355 were children, about 6,300 adult women, and about 3,000 elderly people.

Israeli media reported that more than 1,200 Israelis were killed in the war, including victims of Hamas' raid in October last year.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid found that the war has displaced 1.9 million people, or 90% of Gaza's population of 2.15 million.

Satellite image analysis of the UN's active satellite program revealed that 66% of Gaza's buildings were destroyed or partially damaged by military operations after the war.

In particular, more than 227,000 houses were destroyed or damaged, and 68% of roads were also damaged.

The British private research group Action Against Armed Violence says Israel has attacked Gaza infrastructure every three hours on average.

In particular, it was analyzed that they attacked houses every four hours on average, and tents and temporary shelters every 17 hours.

Schools and hospitals were attacked every four days, and aid rationing stations and warehouses every 15 days, with the exception of a temporary ceasefire in November last year, there were only two days of no bombing in Gaza.

Nineteen out of 36 hospitals have closed due to such Israeli attacks, 17 are operating in part, and only 56 of 131 primary medical institutions are operating.

5,600 critically ill patients alone applied to leave the country for treatment, but only 39% were approved.

The intense fighting has led to the collapse of infrastructure, and the food situation in Gaza has also deteriorated significantly.

The United Nations' 'integrated food security stage' classifies food crisis situations into five stages: 'normal-warning-crisis-emergency-disaster and famine', with 96% of Gaza's population classified as above stage three, 'crisis'.

Among them, the population of "disaster and famine," the highest level realized by Kia, reached 495,000, and the population of "emergency" was counted as 745,000.

The ever-worsening food crisis is a direct hit, especially for the underprivileged, such as children.

In this year's report by the Global Nutrition Cluster, an association of relief organizations, 50,000 children in Gaza were found to need treatment for acute malnutrition.

In addition, 96% of infants and women aged 6 to 23 months in Gaza do not meet the minimum daily essential nutrients.

The humanitarian situation is worsening, but aid is extremely scarce.

As of last month, the average number of relief trucks entering Gaza was 52 per day, less than a third of the average of 165 per day in April.

This is attributed to Israel's successive shutdown of the Kerem Shalom border checkpoint and Rafa checkpoint, the main delivery channel for aid, after Hamas attacks killed four soldiers in May.

Relief trucks entering Gaza last month used Erez checkpoints in northern Gaza instead of these checkpoints.

The war also led to the destruction of water facilities, and as of the 21st and 27th of last month, Gaza's water supply averaged 116,000 cubic meters per day, a quarter of the level before the war.
