According to the latest report of this portfolio, among those killed were some 5.840 minors, 3.920 women and 695 elderly people. It specified that the number of dead in the West Bank amounted to 216 and the number of wounded to more than 2,800.

The Ministry of Health also warned that the figure could actually be much higher in the coastal enclave, with more than 4,500 people missing.

In addition, the Ministry explained that it had great difficulty in obtaining updated data for the seventh consecutive day, due to the disruption of communications services in the Strip and the collapse of service and communications in hospitals in the area.

According to several reports, 26 of the territory's 35 hospitals and 52 of the 72 primary health care clinics stopped functioning due to damage caused by military incursions or lack of fuel because of the blockade imposed by Israel.
