The Israeli occupation continues its siege of Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip for the 12th consecutive day, with the camp facing dire humanitarian conditions due to the total Israeli blockade and relentless bombardment.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Gaza reported continuous Israeli artillery shelling in Jabalia Camp, as Israeli invading forces maintain a tight siege on the northern region.
Our correspondent also confirmed heavy gunfire from Israeli armored vehicles and drones in the Safatawi area towards Palestinians, north of the Strip.
'Bodies scattered on streets'
Concurrently, the Director-General of the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza Dr. Munir al-Bursh reported that over the past 11 days, 350 martyrs and hundreds of injuries have been received by hospitals in northern Gaza, as Israeli aggression continues.
He added that several bodies remain scattered in the streets and alleys, with rescue teams unable to retrieve them.
Al-Bursh further noted that medical supplies in hospitals are critically low, with a shortage of essential drugs, including anesthetics, while intensive care units have ceased operation due to fuel shortages. He confirmed that no aid has entered northern Gaza for the past 11 days.
In addition, five Palestinians were killed and others wounded after an airstrike targeted a house in the Al-Nasr area in northern Gaza City.
In central Gaza, Israeli artillery shelling targeted northern Nuseirat, while in the southern city of Rafah, massive explosions were reported in several areas.
