The Gaza Health Ministry revealed that the death toll from one year of attacks has risen over 42,000, with women and children making up over half the dead.
Israel has issued an evacuation order to people in northern Gaza, but Philippe Lazzarini from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that 400,000 people are trapped there where there is “no end to hell.”
