CONFLICTO
Más de 34.000 muertes en Gaza en el 200º de guerra
April 23, 2024 - La cifra de personas muertas en la guerra de Israel contra Hamas es mayor de 34.000, según el ministerio de salud de Gaza. Y más de 77.000 personas han sufrido lesiones en más de seis meses de conflicto
As the war enters its 200th day, more than 14,500 children and 9,500 women are among the dead, the Health Ministry in the besieged Palestinian enclave said on Tuesday.
The ongoing assaults since last October have also injured 77,143 Palestinians, it added.
More than one million Palestinian women and girls in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger, with almost no access to food, safe drinking water, functioning toilets or running water, creating life-threatening risks.
“The war in Gaza is no doubt a war on women, who are paying a heavy price for a war, not of their making,” said Susanne Mikhail, Regional Director of UN Women in the Arab States, in a media briefing in Geneva.
Over the weekend, Israeli air attacks killed at least 22 people, including 18 children, in the southern city of Rafah, Palestinian health officials said.
Around 250 people were violently snatched by Hamas in its raids of southern Israel last October. According to Israel, the militant group is still holding around 100 live hostages and the remains of more than 30 others.
