The Washington Post report on Monday detailed the worsening humanitarian crisis in northern Gaza, as the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) intensify their aggression on the Strip.

The report sheds light on the emerging strategy reportedly being employed by "Israel", described as a "surrender or starve" approach, which has drawn international condemnation.

The IOF have encircled the Jabalia refugee camp and issued evacuation orders to approximately 400,000 residents in northern Gaza, directing them south to already overcrowded and bombarded areas.

The report notes that humanitarian workers on the ground describe the situation as catastrophic, with airstrikes continuing to batter civilian areas, including refugee camps.

"It is like hell, to be honest," Fares Afana, head of ambulance services in northern Gaza, told The Washington Post.

The report also touches on the controversial plan initially proposed by retired Maj. Gen. Giora Eiland, which suggests evacuating northern Gaza and treating anyone who remains as a legitimate military target.

While the Israeli occupation government has not officially confirmed adopting the strategy, reports indicate that parts of it are being implemented.

Humanitarian groups have raised concerns over the tactic, with Doctors Without Borders warning that thousands of people are trapped in the Jabalia camp, facing starvation and being targeted by IOF forces.

In light of rising escalations with the Lebanese Resistance, and following retaliatory strikes by Iran on Israeli targets, the report warns of the broader regional implications of the ongoing war.

With the prospect of a ceasefire diminishing, he argues that the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, and calls for urgent international intervention to protect civilians remain largely unanswered.

Day 374 of Israeli genocide in Gaza

According to the latest estimates from the Gaza Health Ministry, the death toll has now risen to 42,289 since October 7, 2023, in addition to 98,684 injuries.

The death toll is believed to be significantly higher, as thousands of bodies remain buried under the rubble from widespread destruction across the enclave.

Dozens of Palestinians were killed and others were wounded, on Monday, as Israeli warplanes and artillery shelled various locations across the northern and southern Gaza Strip.

Invading Israeli forces targeted civilians at a supply center in Jabalia camp, located in the northern part of Gaza, as per WAFA news agency. This attack resulted in the killing of eight people and injuries to over 80 others, who were transported to Al-Awda Hospital in Jabalia.

Additionally, 13 people were taken to the Kamal Adwan Hospital after Israeli drones fired at displaced civilians sheltering in al-Fawqa school near Abu Rashid Pool in Jabalia, WAFA added.

Eyewitnesses stated that the bodies of people were scattered inside and around the area, with ambulances unable to reach them due to Israeli fire targeting those attempting to help the wounded and retrieve the bodies.

In southern Gaza, four bodies were recovered from the vicinity of the al-Rahma Mosque in the Al-Shaboura camp, Rafah, and transported to the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, according to WAFA.
