The death toll in Gaza has crossed 9000 as the war entered its fourth week. The war has already caused destructions beyond imagination. The constant bombing on the Strip without differentiation between streets and premises of hospitals and schools has proved to be a total catastrophe.

The Gaza health ministry official said the death toll has risen to 9,061 people which included 3,760 children and 2,326 women, as per report. Al Jazeera said one child is being killed in every 10 minutes by the Israeli air strikes.

The Jabalia refugee camp, the largest refugee camp in Gaza has been bombed twice in two days. The whole neighbourhood was reduced to ashes and rescuers were seen trying to dig through the survivors under the rubble with bare hands.

According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, the number of death has risen to 200 and 800 injured within the time span of 24 hours. Hospitals has ran out of fuel and are in a devastating state.

According to United Nations, the thickly populated camp which lies in the north of Gaza enclave have around 116,000 refugees registered in the camp.

Apart from the constant bombing, Israeli Defence Force and Hamas engaged in fierce ground fight. The IDF claimed to kill one of the Hamas leader.
