• Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates for State of Palestine has released these extremely disturbing figures of genocidal tendency in Gaza territory.

Gaza Facts and Figures Until 16 April 2025 shares the current statistics of all kinds of casualties in Gaza from October 7, 2023. It shares that over 51,000 Palestinian civilians have been killed by the Israeli occupation forces (‘IOF’) in the Gaza Strip. Moreover, at least 116,343 were injured since 7 October 2023. It includes 1,630 Palestinians killed and 4,302 injured since the Israeli breach of ceasefire on 18 March.

The following include the deadliest Israeli attacks carried out between 8 and 14 April, against Palestinian civilians resulting in fatalities:

• On 15 April, one staff of the Kuwaiti field hospital, in Al-Mawasi area in western Khan Younis, was killed and nine others among the medical staff and patients were injured when the back entrance of the hospital was deliberately hit by IOF. The hospital administration condemned the attack and affirmed that medical staff will continue to perform their humanitarian duty;

Attacks on Humanitarian Aid

The Palestinian Civil Defense (PCD) in Gaza continues to face severe challenges that obstruct the provision of lifesaving services. On 13 April, PCD stated that since 18 March, many people who have been trapped under the rubble of their houses that were hit by IOF have died due to the lack of equipment. Rescue equipment, including heavy machinery, have been denied entry into the Gaza Strip, PCD added. Moreover, in Gaza and North Gaza governorates, PCD teams are facing growing challenges in putting off fires after the Mekorot waterline stopped functioning on 3 April.

On 7 April, Juzoor for Health and Social Development reported that two of its staff, a doctor and a nurse, were killed in Gaza city as they were leaving a medical point where they had been working that is supported by the International Rescue Committee (IRC). Condemning the killing, IRC’s Country Director said: “Health workers are risking their lives every day to provide care to people living under bombardment and cut off from humanitarian aid.” On 13 April, and in reference to the incident where 15 aid workers were killed in Rafah, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that it was informed by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) that the missing paramedic is being held in detention by the Israeli occupation authorities. PRCS called for the immediate release of the paramedic, who was detained while on duty with eight of his colleagues who were killed.

In total, since 7 October 2023, at least 417 aid workers, including 294 UN staff, have been killed by IOF in Gaza.

Attacks on Hospitals & Medical Teams

On 13 April, Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza city was deliberately targeted and hit by two Israeli airstrikes that destroyed the emergency building of the hospital and caused severe damage to additional hospital facilities. Prior to the strikes, the IOF issued an “evacuation order”, forcing medical staff and patients to evacuate the hospital in few minutes. While no immediate casualties were reported, a child died due to the disruption of medical care during the evacuation process. According to the MoH General Director, Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, the reception department, laboratory and pharmacy were all destroyed, while the church that hosted many patients sustained damage. MoH stated that the hospital has been rendered out of service temporarily and all services were directed to three other hospitals, including a field hospital in Gaza city.

In a statement that expressed alarm at the strike by IOF on Al-Ahli Hospital that dealt “a severe blow to an already devastated healthcare system in the Strip,” the Spokesperson of the UN Secretary-General emphasized: “Under international humanitarian law, if the whole or part of the population of an occupied territory is inadequately supplied, the occupying Power shall agree to relief schemes on behalf of the said population, and shall facilitate them by all the means at its disposal. This is reflected in a number of Security Council resolutions, including resolutions 2730 (2024) and 2417 (2018), which strongly condemn the unlawful denial of humanitarian access and depriving civilians of objects indispensable to their survival.”

World Health Organization’s Call

Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesu, stressed that attacks on health care must stop. He noted that the hospital was forced to move 50 patients to other hospitals, while 40 critical patients could not be moved, and that the hospital is unable to receive new patients pending repairs.

Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) reported that staff and patients were given little time to evacuate, and with no place to go to, they were left lying on the streets near the hospital. A physiotherapy specialist working at the same hospital told MAP that the destroyed laboratory was the only one in Gaza that provided a range of tests that are otherwise unavailable at any other hospital. Emergency and reception services were shared between Al-Ahli Hospital and Al-Shifa hospitals, with Al-Ahli hospital taking the lead as it was the only hospital equipped with a computerized tomography (CT) scanner. These services have now entirely ceased, increasing pressure on Al-Shifa Hospital, which is already operating with a smaller capacity, the specialist added.

Forcible Displacement

Between 18 March and 14 April, the IOF issued at least 20 forcible displacement orders, placing about 142.7 square kilometers, or 39% of the Gaza Strip, under active forcible displacement orders. In addition to areas placed under displacement orders, the Israeli occupation authorities have requested the UN to coordinate and notify movements to the “no-go” zone along Gaza’s perimeter and along Wadi Gaza where IOF have re-deployed since 20 March, which makes up about 50% of the Gaza Strip. In total, about 69% of the Gaza Strip is under active forcible displacement orders, within the “no-go” zone or both.

According to the Site Management Cluster, over 401,000 Palestinians are estimated to have been forcibly displaced between 18 March and 9 April.13

Between 8 and 14 April, six forcible displacement orders were issued by the IOF across the Gaza Strip, with one order issued twice on two consecutive days.

Destruction and Damage

The current statistics show dismal living conditions due to continuous destruction and damage to the infrastructure. Gaza Facts and Figures Until 16 April 2025 includes:

• According to UNOSAT, as of 1 December 2024, 69% of all structures are destroyed or damaged.
• 88% of the 48,987 assessed entities in the commerce and industry sector in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, including 22% damaged and 66% completely destroyed.
• 81% of the classified road network (primary, secondary and tertiary roads) and 62% of the total road network (including agricultural roads) have been damaged or destroyed.

Water, Food, Fuel, and Sewage Conditions

As of Gaza Facts and Figures Until 16 April 2025, over one million individual meals are being prepared daily at approximately 175 community kitchens supported by more than 20 Food Security Sector (FSS) partners that are sharing the remaining limited food commodities available in the Gaza Strip. However, FSS emphasizes that one cooked meal per day is far from sufficient to meet a person’s daily minimum caloric intake and dietary diversity needs—particularly as the entire population of over two million people remains entirely dependent on food assistance for survival.21 According to recent market monitoring data and food security analysis in April, food consumption in Gaza has sharply deteriorated due to the blockade on the entry of humanitarian aid and other critical supplies, now in its seventh week, and the resumption of the Israeli genocidal war since 18 March.22

Consumption of key food groups—such as meat, poultry, dairy, vegetables, and fruits—remains critically low. In most locations, meat and eggs consumption are nearly absent from diets, while dairy products are very limited in the north and almost non-existent in the south.

While Israel continues its destruction of the region, the report specifies inhumane condition of the people in Gaza. It raises the question: Is the global order over?
