00:00August 1st marks the 300th day of the Israeli genocide against the Gaza Strip since October 7th,
00:062023. Our correspondent in Gaza, Huda Hegazi, gives us more information in the following report.
00:12Let's see.
00:16Today marks exactly 300 days of this genocidal Israeli war here in the Gaza Strip.
00:21300 days of continuous destruction, of continuous bombings, of continuous deaths,
00:27of continuous losses, 300 days in which the people of Gaza have spent as a nightmare that
00:32has not ended until this moment. I, find myself in this moment in one of the simple examples of
00:38the massive destruction that the Israeli army has caused in all the Gaza Strip.
00:43According to several reports issued by UNICEF it has been assured that the destruction caused
00:47in the Gaza Strip has exceeded more than 50% both structures and infrastructures.
00:57We must also say that in these 300 days Israel has killed more than 40,000 Gazanis and there are
01:16still another 10,000 under the rubble. So we are considering that the total number of fatalities
01:21in this genocidal war has already exceeded 50,000 and it is assured that 69% of this total
01:27are children and women. It must also be said that this war has injured approximately 100,000 Gazans,
01:33many of them children and women, who unfortunately need to be transferred abroad.
01:37But due to the systematic Israeli policy of closing the borders,
01:40many of these wounded will not be able to go abroad for treatment and their lives are in
01:44grave danger. Also in these 300 days, more than 80% of the Gazan population has been forcibly
02:09evacuated and have had to leave their homes, move to live in other parts of the Gaza Strip
02:14and are now living in tents and refugee schools, a situation that cannot be described in words.
02:19The Gazans have had to endure the cold of winter and now the heat of summer,
02:23besides life in the tents has caused the spread of several diseases and epidemics.
02:27We are talking about hepatitis and a new virus that is spreading that causes paralysis in children
02:32and that is due to the lack of hygiene and living in tents, which is a life that even
02:36the animals could not stand. We are talking about 300 days of continuous suffering.
03:00Unfortunately, the world is still doing nothing.
03:03Also to say that in these 300 days not only Israel has killed innocent civilians but also
03:08journalists and media workers and the number of journalists who have died has already exceeded
03:13165. Therefore, today we are asking from here in the Gaza Strip to the free countries of the world
03:19and the international community to stop this genocidal Israeli war. The world must move and
03:24must see with its eyes what Israel is doing and stop it, together with the US administration,
03:29which is complicit in these systematic Israeli crimes in this area of the Gaza Strip.
