In numbers: 315 days of Israeli-American genocidal war on Gaza Strip

By Press TV Website Staff

The Israeli-American genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip has completed 315 days and there are still no signs of this murderous aggression ending or even slowing down.

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

The death toll in the territory since the Israeli regime launched its indiscriminate aerial and ground assault exactly 315 days ago has surpassed 40,000, 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.

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 exposed to Israeli attacks.
