The Palestinian Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Dr. Tamer Almasri, has said the Israeli “genocidal” war on Gaza has so far killed 22 835 Palestinians, with the “occupying force continuing its aggressive mission of killing innocent children, pregnant women, while destroying schools and hospitals in Gaza.”

In a statement, Ambassador Almasri added that of the 22 835 lives that have been lost, 10 000 are children, 7 000 women, and 7 000 missing individuals presumed dead under the rubble.

Dr. Almassri condemned the Israeli offensive and vowed that his people would “defend their land until their last breath.”

“The ambassador of the State of Palestine, Dr. Tamer Almassri, condemns in the strongest terms the genocidal war committed by the Israeli government against our people for the 94th day in a row, with Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right coalition exploiting the excuse of self-defense to empty the Gaza Strip of its population, either through murder and mass displacement, or by destroying all aspects of life in the Gaza Strip and turning it into an uninhabitable land, within the framework of an expansionist Israeli colonial plan aimed at erasing the Palestinian cause and liquidating the rights of our people.

“Let it be known that the Palestinian people will not leave their land and will continue to resist the Israeli occupation through all means necessary to achieve their independent state of Palestine, with Jerusalem as its capital, and the Palestinian people will never lift the white flag. Israeli policies of settlement expansion, genocide, and displacement will never liquidate the Palestinian cause, but rather increase instability within the region and the world.

Currently, reports say 58,416 people have been injured since  Israel launched a brutal offensive in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza, claiming that it wants to destroy Hamas. Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, reportedly killing 1500 people mostly civilians who were attending a beach party.

Media reports claim that 1,1 million children are suffering from malnutrition and diseases, and another 1,9 million Palestinians reportedly displaced multiple times in Gaza.
