00:00 We now go to Gaza, where our correspondent Uda Hegazi is bringing us the latest updates
00:04 after 24 days of Israeli attacks on the Palestinian territories.
00:12 We are at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, one of the central and largest hospitals in
00:17 the Gaza Strip.
00:22 This hospital has witnessed the crimes of the occupation army, especially against children
00:27 and women who have been the main target of this war against the Zionist occupation army.
00:35 According to the Palestinian Health Ministry and its latest reports, we have been assured
00:40 that up to now there are about 8,300 Palestinians who have been killed by the attacks of the
00:46 Zionist occupation army.
00:54 We are saying that over half of them are children and women.
00:58 The exact number of children who have lost their lives in these 24 days of atrocities
01:03 are 3,300 children, children between the ages of 0 and 18 years old.
01:12 And also about 2,060 women have lost their lives.
01:22 The occupation army has been committing continuous massacres against the Palestinian population
01:27 in these 24 days.
01:29 Around 900 Israeli massacres have been committed against families in the Gaza Strip.
01:36 That means that the occupation army has proceeded to bomb 900 homes targeting these families.
01:42 That is to say, while the members of these families were inside their homes, the Zionist
01:47 occupation army has proceeded to deliberately bomb them, knowing that they were inside.
01:52 And that is why the number of martyrs has increased so much in only 24 days of atrocities.
01:59 Also the number of wounded so far has exceeded 20,000 wounded.
02:08 We are talking about very high figures in only 24 days of atrocities of the occupation
02:13 army.
02:15 And not only children and women have been victims of this Zionist anxiety, but also
02:20 journalists and medical teams.
02:27 About 16 journalists have been deliberately bombed by the occupation army.
02:34 Also more than 100 members of medical teams, including ambulance drivers and nurses, have
02:40 lost their lives and about 20 ambulances have also been deliberately bombed by the Zionist
02:46 occupation army.
