The Israeli regime continues to besiege the town of Jabalia and its refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip while intensifying its aggression in other areas. 

The spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza, Mahmoud Bassal, explained that the Israeli regime is starving the Palestinian people in Jabalia while massacring them. Israeli occupation forces are blocking humanitarian aid from reaching the northern Gaza Strip and forcefully displacing civilians from the camp, in a systematic attempt to ethnically cleanse the area. 

Bassal noted that more than 400 people have been martyred, including children, women, and elderly people, while hundreds of others were injured as a result of the Israeli onslaught on Jabalia. 

Communications services and internet access have also been cut off in some areas of the Jabalia camp, affecting "the ability of citizens to communicate with Civil Defense teams and medical services," Bassal explained. 

The homes of the Hawajri, Nasar, and Abu al-Ayash families, among others, were recently shelled, killing and injuring more than 45 people.

The spokesperson for Gaza's Civil Defense said, "Dozens of martyrs' bodies remain scattered across the streets of Jabalia due to continuous Israeli bombardment."

Regarding the blockade and the starvation of civilians in northern Gaza, Bassal stated, "Thousands of Palestinians in Jabalia are sleeping without food or water due to the intense siege on the camp."

Israeli attacks on Gaza's health sector continue 

In its systematic aggression against Gaza's health sector, Israeli artillery bombarded the Indonesian Hospital and besieged both medical staff and patients. Two patients died as a direct result of these Israeli actions, which have also resulted in power outages and a severe shortage of medical supplies.

A Gaza Ministry of Health official reported that they are unable to release the actual number of martyrs in northern Gaza, as "the numbers are alarming, and what we announce is just the number of bodies we manage to retrieve."

He confirmed that three hospitals in the North are out of service after being targeted by Israeli occupation forces.

The health official emphasized that the current situation in northern Gaza is worse than in the early days of the war, stating, "We are receiving distress calls about the summary execution of civilians detained in northern Gaza by Israeli forces."

Gaza's Civil Defense also announced that they contacted the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) for necessary humanitarian coordination to evacuate entrapped civilians.

However, "Israel" has not responded to these coordination requests. Such actions risk the lives of injured civilians, violating international law, which obligates all parties to rescue the wounded, provide essential care, and ensure the dignified retrieval and burial of the deceased.

Furthermore, the Civil Defense the lack of presence of international missions and organizations in northern Gaza, exacerbating the suffering of Palestinians and endangering their lives as the genocidal war and policies of starvation and displacement by the Israeli military continue. The Israeli regime has bullied international organizations into abandoning the northern Gaza Strip, as part of its policy of genocide against Palestinians in the area. 

Since October 7, 2023, Israeli occupation forces have launched a relentless aggression on Palestinians resulting in 42,519 martyrs and 99,637 injuries, so far. These figures do not inlcude thousands of others who remain missing or stuck underneath the rubble, as a result of brutal Israeli policies.
