More than 25,000 people have died in the Gaza Strip since the war with Israel began on October 7, as intense Israeli bombardment in the enclave continues.

Citing Gaza’s health authorities, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) also noted that some 62,681 Palestinians have been injured by Israeli strikes launched in retaliation for Hamas-led attacks in Israel that left some 1,200 people dead and around 250 people taken hostage.

Highlighting the scale of need among Gazans after more than three months of “intense” bombardment, OCHA said that only 15 bakeries were now operational in Gaza – “six in Rafah and nine in Deir al Balah” – and none is open north of Wadi Gaza.

Also, the UN health agency, WHO, expressed worries over reported attacks on hospitals in the southern city of Khan Younis.

Meanwhile, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) reported on Monday that telecommunications shutdowns had entered a seventh day.

In its latest update, the agency for Palestinian refugees reported that 1.7 million people were now confirmed displaced within Gaza, 151 UNRWA staff killed and 141 installations damaged.
