The bodies of thousands of Palestinian martyrs and wounded civilians are still under the rubble and scattered on the streets, as the IOF has been preventing ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them, the statement added.
The Israeli occupation has been committing a textbook genocide on the Gaza Strip, with nonstop air strikes and bombardment shot from all sides (air, land and sea), murdering, injuring and committing bloody massacres against tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians, cutting all means to deliver supplies of food, water, medicine, and fuel to them, and causing a humanitarian catastrophe of countless martyrs, wounded and missing civilians, as well as a massive destruction of vital infrastructure and facilities in the Gaza Strip.
