The United Nations announced on Saturday that more than 1300 buildings in the Gaza Strip have been destroyed after a week of Israeli airstrikes concentrated on the region in response to an unprecedented attack by the Hamas movement. 

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported that "5544 housing units" in these buildings were destroyed, with approximately 3750 other units suffering severe damage to the extent that they are no longer habitable.
