19 Oct 2024 - 15:32

For the fifteenth consecutive day on Saturday, northern Gaza, particularly Jabalia refugee camp, is enduring an Israeli siege and starvation amidst intense aerial and artillery bombardment, along with a complete isolation of the healthcare system and internet.


At least 30 people were killed and 70 others wounded as eye witnesses reported a large massacre against homes in Tal Al-Zaatar to the northeast of Jabalia camp in northern part of the besieged Gaza Strip.
 
The Gaza Government Media Office (GMO) said that 21 women and children were among the martyrs.
 
Nearly 20 other Palestinians were killed and injured in another massacre in Jabalia increasing the number of casualties in the northern part of the besieged Gaza to 49 since the total number of martyrs since the siege of the area less than two weeks ago has reached 450.
 
Since dawn on Saturday, Israeli occupation forces have besieged the Indonesian hospital in Beit Lahiya, targeting anyone moving in its vicinity. The Israeli occupation forces shelled the healthcare center and the military bulldozers began demolishing parts of the hospital after cutting off its electricity.
 
Marwan Sultan, the director of the Indonesian hospital warned that 15 medical staff members and 30 injured patients in the hospital face real dangers due to the direct targeting of the hospital calling on the international community to intervene to save what remains of the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip.
 
Meanwhile, the director of Al-Awda Hospital, Dr. Mohammed Saleh, described the healthcare situation as catastrophic due to the shortage of medical supplies, noting that the situation in northern Gaza is “indescribable.”
 
A health ministry official in Gaza said that several civilians have died of hunger and thirst in their homes in Jabalia due to the ongoing siege, and the bodies of dozens of martyrs are scattered in the streets of Jabalia as a result of the continuous bombardment.
 
Gaza Media Office condemned the moral decline of countries around the world that silently watch and monitor the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people, especially what is currently happening in the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza.
 
In a press statement, the GMO held the Israeli occupation, the US administration, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and the countries participating in the genocide fully responsible for the continuation of this crime.
 
The number of Palestinians who lost their lives as a result of Israeli atrocities against the besieged Gaza since October 7 has risen to 42,500 with over 99,500 injured.
