The World Bank, in a new report published Tuesday, indicated that the “Israeli” aggression against the Gaza Strip has caused damage of around USD 18.5 billion to Gaza's critical infrastructure.

Earlier today, The UK has summoned the “Israeli” ambassador after the death of British aid workers in a strike in the Gaza Strip - a statement by the Foreign Ministry said.
