Palestinian Health Minister, Dr. Mai al-Kaila, has reported that 
one-third of the Palestinians, who were killed by Israeli missiles and 
shells in the three-day offensive on Gaza, are women and children.

In a press release, Thursday, Dr. al-Kaila stated that the Israeli army 
killed 34 Palestinians in its offensive, which began on Tuesday at dawn 
and ended with a ceasefire, on Thursday morning.

She said that the Israeli army eight children and three women, and added 
that 111 Palestinians, including 46 children and 20 women, have been 
injured.

%32.35 of the slain Palestinians are women and children, and %59.4 of 
the wounded are also women and children.

“This terrifying fact proves that Israel committed a serious crime, a 
premeditated murder of children and women,” she said, “This is not an 
accidental killing, or a mistake, but rather a deliberate, calculated 
policy.”

The Minister stated that the international community must end its 
silence and idleness, and act on providing the needed protection to the 
Palestinian people.

“Israel obliterated families; one clear example of that is Abu Malhous 
family that lost eight of its member due to the Israeli missiles,” she 
concluded, “Moreover, the psychological trauma, the grieve, will 
continue to impact the lives of hundreds of Palestinians.”

Besides destroying or damaging dozens of homes, the Israeli missiles 
caused damage to fifteen schools in the two days of ongoing bombardment.

Six schoolchildren were killed, and many others were injured, in 
addition to the dozens of children who suffered extreme anxiety attacks.

The Israeli missiles caused damage to 185 homes, and destroyed five 
other homes, in several parts of the Gaza Strip.
