With the continuation of the Israeli aggression for the 196th day on the enclave, still several casualties are underneath the rubble and on roads, with paramedics and civil defense personnel being unable to reach out to them, the report added.
The unprecedented Israeli aggression has been dragging on since October causing an entire humanitarian catastrophe that resulted in the fall of tens of thousands of martyrs, wounded and missing, along with major decimation of infrastructure, until the enclave became a pile of rubble and a large cemetery for victims.
