The Ministry of Interior in Gaza announced, on Thursday evening, that the number of people missing under the rubble in the Strip as a result of intense Israeli air strikes had risen to 1,950 people.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Interior in Gaza, Iyad Al-Bazm, said during a press conference: “The number of missing people under the rubble in all Gaza governorates since the start of the aggression has risen to 1,950 missing people.”
The previous toll of those missing under the rubble was 1,650, including 900 children, according to Ashraf Al-Qudra, spokesman for the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.
Al-Bazm said, “The occupation continues to commit its crimes in Gaza day and night without stopping, but it increases its frequency at night and in complete darkness due to the power outage, which makes rescue operations and the evacuation of the martyrs and wounded difficult, and makes the situation more difficult for citizens, crews, and specialized rescue teams.”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Interior appealed to "the international community and good consciences to take urgent action to stop the crimes of genocide against Palestinian civilians in Gaza."
For the 20th day, the Israeli occupation army continues to target Gaza with intense air strikes that destroyed entire neighborhoods, leaving 7,028 Palestinian martyrs, including 2,913 children, 1,709 women, and 397 elderly people, and wounding 18,484 people, in addition to about 2,000 missing under the rubble.
