The ministry has flagged a critical situation, with more than 11,000 individuals urgently requiring evacuation for medical treatment.

According to the latest data from the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Palestinian government as of February 13,

Attacks have damaged more than half of Gaza’s homes -,360,000 residential units have been destroyed or damage, 392 educational facilities, 11 out of 35 hospitals are partially functioning123 ambulances, 267 places of worship.

The staggering numbers underscore the urgent need for immediate intervention to halt the escalation of violence and alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

However, leaflets ordering evacuations are inconsistent with online warnings, which has confused residents.

Furthermore, several Gaza residents have no reliable way to access the map with little access to electricity or the internet since the blockade of the 365sq-km (141sq-mile) strip has resulted in a collapse of telecommunications infrastructure.
