Gaza Herald — Two years into Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, the enclave stands almost entirely obliterated. The Gaza Government Media Office confirmed that 90 percent of the territory has been destroyed, calling the devastation “a continuing genocide” aimed at erasing Palestinian life, heritage, and hope.
The statistics are staggering: more than 200,000 tons of explosives have been dropped since October 2023, an equivalent of multiple nuclear bombs flattening homes, hospitals, and schools across the Strip. At least 38 hospitals have been destroyed or rendered inoperable, while 95 percent of Gaza’s schools have sustained severe or total damage.
Israel’s ground invasions have turned vast areas into unlivable wastelands, forcing millions to crowd into so-called “humanitarian zones” that lack food, water, and shelter. The report adds that Israel now controls nearly 80 percent of Gaza’s land through occupation and destruction.
Rising Death Toll
The death toll stands at 76,639, with 9,500 still missing under the rubble. Another 169,583 Palestinians have been wounded, including 4,800 amputees and 1,200 paralyzed for life. Over 2,700 families have been completely erased from the civil registry, while 12,000 miscarriages and 460 deaths from starvation have been recorded amid Israel’s siege and deliberate starvation tactics.
“These figures reveal a scale of destruction unseen in modern history,” the media office said. “What is unfolding in Gaza is not a war, it is the systematic extermination of a people.”
As Gaza enters its third year of annihilation, survivors ask the same haunting question: how much more can the world watch before acting to stop it?
Two years of war have left Gazans battered, displaced, and mourning loved ones, yet the air still hums with drones and the ground shakes with tanks. As negotiators in Egypt discuss Trump’s plan for Gaza, residents cannot help but ask: Will this proposal finally stop the carnage, or will it simply postpone the next wave of attacks? Every family hopes for safety, yet no one dares to trust words over lived reality.
