**Headline: Report: Israel’s Gaza Offensive Leaves Over 10% of Population Dead or Injured in Two Years, Triggering Famine**

**Gaza City –** A new report details the devastating impact of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, launched in response to attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Over the past two years, the assault has resulted in the deaths of at least 67,000 Palestinians, including 20,000 children, and has injured more than 169,000, according to sources inside Gaza. These numbers constitute more than 10% of Gaza’s pre-war population. The numbers are likely higher due to people missing or buried under rubble.

The ongoing conflict has decimated Gaza’s infrastructure, including its healthcare system. At least 125 health facilities have been damaged, and 1,722 health workers and aid workers have been killed. Dozens of doctors have been arrested, some allegedly tortured to death, further crippling the capacity of the remaining facilities to cope with the massive influx of patients.

The report also highlights a severe humanitarian crisis. Israel’s restrictions on aid have led to widespread hunger, with at least 459 deaths attributed to starvation. The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza, with projections indicating its spread. Malnutrition rates among children have skyrocketed. The situation is exacerbated by a new food distribution system overseen by the Israeli- and United States-backed GHF, which has reportedly resulted in numerous deaths and injuries as people attempt to access food.

Water infrastructure has also been deliberately targeted, leaving the majority of households water insecure. Nearly all residential and commercial buildings have been damaged or destroyed, displacing millions. The cost of physical damage is estimated at $55 billion.

Gaza’s education system has been shattered with the destruction of educational facilities. More than 2,300 educational facilities have been destroyed. At least 780 educational staff members have been killed.

Rights groups report that over 10,800 Palestinians, including hundreds of children and women, are being held in Israeli prisons, many without charge or trial.

Furthermore, the report underscores the unprecedented number of journalists killed in Gaza, with nearly 300 media workers losing their lives. Restrictions on foreign media access and allegations of deliberate targeting of journalists have raised concerns about suppressing information about the conflict. The UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and Opinion says Israel’s campaign amounts to an effort to silence Palestinian journalists

International legal experts cite violations of the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute, potentially constituting war crimes.
