Brutal assault in Gaza continues

Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip for a 31st day in a row as the besieged Palestinian enclave faces a growing humanitarian catastrophe.

Internationally accepted rules of armed conflict were passed under the Geneva Conventions in 1949, which state children must be protected and treated humanely.

However, Israeli air strikes on Gaza have killed one child every 10 minutes since the start of the war.

Here are the latest casualty figures as of November 7, 4:40pm local time (13:40 GMT):

Gaza

  • Killed: At least 10,328
    • Including at least:
      • 4,237 children
      • 2,719 women
  • Injured: At least 25,965
    • Including at least:
      • 8,067 children
      • 5,960 women

Occupied West Bank

  • Killed: At least 164
  • Injured: More than 2,100

Israel

  • Killed: At least 1,405
  • Injured: At least 5,600

The figures have been reported by the Palestinian health ministry, Palestine Red Crescent Society and Israeli Medical Services.

Residents in Gaza have flocked to hospitals and United Nations schools for safety, hoping that Israel will abide by international law and not attack those coordinates.

However, places of shelter and medical care have also not been free from Israeli attacks.

  • 150 medical staff have now been killed, and 28 ambulances destroyed.
  • 16 hospitals are out of service in Gaza, and 32 medical care facilities are out of operation.
