Israel killed more than 70 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday in a wave of intense bombardments.
The Israeli military targeted residential areas and shelters housing displaced Palestinians, with many children reportedly among the dead.
According to statistics from the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa), 92 percent of homes in the besieged enclave have been damaged or destroyed during Israel's war on Gaza.
“Families in Gaza face unimaginable devastation,” the agency said in a post on X.
Several massacres have been reported across the Gaza Strip, with the Gaza government media office indicating earlier that over 50 people had been killed, including children, in just the first five hours since dawn on Tuesday.
