More than 100,000 Palestinians are besieged in the north of the Gaza Strip without food and medicine, Quds Press reported Civil Defence spokesperson in the Gaza Strip Mahmoud Basal saying on Saturday. At least 60 percent of them are women and children, he added.

On Sunday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza appealed to international and UN bodies and organisations to “send medical and surgical delegations and facilitate their access to hospitals in the north of Gaza, especially Kamal Adwan Hospital.”
It also called for “providing ambulances to transport the wounded and sick to hospitals.”
Israel has intensified its siege on northern Gaza, rounding up and stripping men and boys and forcing women and young children to walk to the south of the enclave under a heavy military presence.
