Gaza is becoming a scene of devastation: The entire Gaza Strip has become a continent: It will take decades to settle

UNO, New Delhi: There is no end in sight to the Israel-Hamas war. D.T. On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a surprise attack on southern Israel, killing approximately 1,300 people, taking 250 hostages and abducting mostly young women. At that time they would hardly have had any idea what kind of tremendous counter-attacks they would face. Leave aside Hamas, no country in the world, including America or European countries, would have even imagined that Israel would carry out such a huge and destructive attack.

A report released yesterday by the United Nations on the Gaza Strip said that seven months of continuous Israeli bombardment has left almost the entire Gaza City in ruins, with not a single building standing. Billions of dollars have been lost. According to data received by the United Nations, approximately 80 thousand houses have been destroyed. The report says that even if the war stops today, Gaza cannot be settled until 2040. 85.9 percent of schools have been damaged. Out of which 70 percent schools have become ruins.

Abdullah al-Darbareen, director of the United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) Regional Bureau for Arab Situation, said the Human Development Index in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza had been falling for the past 20 years, but had fallen sharply in the past seven months. . The number of poor has reached 60.7 percent. The middle class there is also moving towards the poverty line. A large section of the middle class in East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank is falling into poverty. Most of the poor are falling below the poverty line.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken visited the Middle East six times. After that 7th visit also took place and once again requested for ceasefire but neither side is ready for ceasefire which is the biggest ritual deviation. 34,000 Palestinians have been killed. 70 percent of these are women and children. Their number is 14,350. More than 170 UNO employees are among those killed. 7 employees of World Central Kitchen and more than 90 journalists have also been killed in that war.
