More than 70% of civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip has been destroyed or severely damaged by Israel’s intense bombardment of the enclave, according to UNRWA.

On social media, the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees shared what it described as “shocking footage” of “unimaginable destruction” in Gaza City, including its health centre.

70% of civilian infrastructure – including homes, hospitals & schools – have been destroyed or severely damaged, UNRWA said. It added that 84% of health facilities have been affected by attacks.

UNRWA estimates that 1.7 million Palestinians have been internally displaced across Gaza, some multiple times.
