ALBAWABA- In a shocking escalation of violence, Israeli warplanes have unleashed an overwhelming and unprecedented assault on the Gaza Strip, targeting all areas of the besieged territory. 

The onslaught has inflicted devastating consequences, resulting in over 7,500 casualties, mostly children, women, and the elderly, and more than 20,000 individuals wounded. 

Approximately 25% of the city's structures have been reduced to rubble, and a staggering 1.5 million residents have been forced to flee their homes.

Moreover, the vicious airstrikes have taken a heavy toll on civilian infrastructure, with the destruction of vital facilities such as UNRWA buildings, universities, schools, and hospitals.

This unforgiving aggression has claimed the lives of around 40 UN workers and 25 journalists, emphasizing the magnitude of the crisis that has unfolded in the span of just 20 days.
