‘Systematic genocide’: Gaza media office says Israel deliberately killing women, children
The Gaza media office says the Israeli regime deliberately kills civilians in Gaza as part of a systematic policy of genocide.
In a statement released on Monday, the office said Over 65% of Palestinians killed by Israeli regime are children, women, and the elderly.
In a statement released on Monday, the media office said Over 65% of Palestinians killed by the Israeli regime are children, women, and the elderly.
The regime “has killed more than 18,000 children and more than 12,400 Palestinian women. It has wiped out more than 2,180 Palestinian families, where the father, mother, and all family members were killed,” it added.
The statement also highlighted the targeting of medical staff, with over 1,400 doctors and healthcare workers killed—a devastating loss that has crippled the healthcare infrastructure.
According to the statement, over 113 Civil Defense personnel have lost their lives while performing humanitarian work. Additionally, 212 journalists have been killed in what appear to be systematic efforts to suppress truth-telling and hide violations. The violence has also claimed the lives of more than 750 humanitarian aid workers involved in relief distribution and security.
The Israeli regime’s aggression has also resulted in the killings of over 13,000 students and more than 800 teachers and educational staff members, along with over 150 scholars, academics, university professors, and researchers, it said, adding that thousands of civil sector and essential service workers in Gaza have also been killed.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 52,243 Palestinians have been confirmed dead and another 117,600 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza since it began 18 months ago.
Israel launched the genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, but it failed to achieve its declared objectives.
The regime eventually accepted Hamas’ longstanding ceasefire terms on January 19. However, on March 18, Israel violated the agreement, restarting its indiscriminate bombardment of the besieged territory.
