Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip, Palestine, has lasted for a year.
According to data compiled by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), between October 7, 2023, and October 7, 2024, 41,600 Gazans were killed and 96,600 injured as a result of Israeli attacks.
On the other hand, approximately 1,200 Israelis were killed and 5,500 injured, mostly as a result of attacks by the Palestinian Hamas militant group launched on October 7, 2023.
OCHA stated that for the past year, Israel has blocked access to humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, leaving the remaining residents to struggle against disease, starvation, and death.
"No statistics or words can describe the extent of the physical, mental, and social devastation that has occurred," said OCHA representative Joyce Msuya in a press release on Monday (October 7, 2024).
"This tragedy has lasted for 12 months and it must end. UN member states must use their influence to ensure respect for international humanitarian law and human rights, and compliance with International Court of Justice rulings," she continued.
