The ongoing Israeli bombing damaged over 200,000 housing units, with more than 32,000 completely demolished, according to Salama Marouf, head of the Government Media Office in Gaza.

During a press conference held yesterday, Marouf stated that the occupation forces also targeted mosques, churches and schools where thousands have taken refuge from the bombing.
