In numbers: 460 days of Israeli-American genocidal war on Gaza Strip

By Press TV Website Staff

The Israeli-American genocidal war on Gaza completed 460 days on Wednesday, January 8, and there are still no signs of the murderous aggression ending or slowing down.

From dead bodies lying scattered on the streets to hospitals and schools razed down to children orphaned and millions rendered homeless, the gory events unfolding in the Palestinian territory represent a textbook case of genocide and ethnic cleansing, according to human rights groups.

The death toll in the territory since the Israeli regime launched its indiscriminate aerial and ground on October 7, 2023, has surpassed 45,900, most of them children and women.

Almost all medical facilities in the territory have become defunct due to infrastructure damages as well as the lack of electricity and fuel to keep the essential services running.

The last functional hospital in northern Gaza – Kamal Adwan Hospital – was also emptied late last month and all doctors and patients were arrested and taken to an unknown location.

There are no “safe zones” anymore and people are either putting up in makeshift shelters or refugee camps in both the northern and southern Gaza Strip, which are frequently exposed to Israeli attacks.
