Israel has launched a brutal attack on Beit Lahiya, targeting residential buildings and causing the death or disappearance of at least 87 people, according to reports from the Government Media Office.
The siege on north Gaza, which began over two weeks ago, has resulted in a relentless assault on the remaining population, leading to the loss of many innocent lives.
The ongoing assault in north Gaza by Israel is aimed at stopping Hamas from regrouping, according to the Israeli army’s spokesperson, Avichay Adraee. The army claims that Hamas has set up terrorist infrastructure in the region, using civilians as a shield.
Civilians in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoun have been ordered to evacuate, with Israel urging them to flee south to already overcrowded areas. However, humanitarian zones have also been targeted in the attacks, leaving no safe place in the enclave.
The conditions in north Gaza are dire, with no food aid reaching the area since October 2. The UN has warned that essential supplies for survival are running out, putting the lives of the trapped civilians at risk.
Despite Israeli claims of allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza, the Government Media Office has refuted these claims, accusing Israel of lying about the situation on the ground.
The Israeli military has reportedly killed at least 450 people in north Gaza since the siege began, with a focus on the Jabalia refugee camp. The attacks have resulted in numerous casualties, including women and children.
In terms of medical care, three hospitals in northern Gaza are struggling to cope with the influx of patients. Despite being targeted in the attacks, medical staff at these facilities are refusing to abandon their patients, risking their own lives to save others.
