  • 339 educational facilities damaged
  • 26 out of 35 hospitals not functioning
  • 102 ambulances damaged

Nowhere safe to go

  • The Israeli army published an online map of the Gaza Strip on Friday, dividing the enclave into more than 600 numbered blocks. It asked Gaza’s civilians to identify the block corresponding with their area of residence and evacuate when ordered.
However, leaflets distributed ordering evacuations are inconsistent with online warnings, which has confused the residents.
  • Furthermore, several Gaza residents have no reliable way to access the map, with little access to electricity or the internet since the blockade of the 365sq km (141sq miles) strip has resulted in a collapse of telecommunications infrastructure.
