Gaza City and Khan Younis have experienced severe devastation, with over 70% of homes in the Gaza Strip damaged or destroyed. The UNRWA reports that in Gaza City alone, about 17,000 children are unaccompanied or separated from their families. Additionally, the Khan Younis Training Centre, sheltering about 40,000 people, was struck, resulting in numerous casualties.
