LONDON (Bernama-AA): More than 90,000 people, about 4 per cent of the population in Gaza, are dead, wounded or missing, a human rights monitor said Friday.

The Geneva-based Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor made the assessment and said Israel’s continuous air, land and sea attacks have destroyed about 70 per cent of the Gaza Strip’s civilian infrastructure since Oct 7.
