More than 1’800 Palestinians have been killed since Israeli forces launched killing campaign in northern Gaza amid tightened siege of the area particularly around Jabalia.

Local authorities say hundreds have also gone missing.

In a statement released on Monday, Gaza’s media office said the number of the injured stands at around 4,000.

The regime forces prevent ambulances and humanitarian aid convoys from entering northern Gaza.

Gaza media office said in its statement that the regime is using starvation as a method of warfare in the occupied Gaza Strip, preventing 3,800 aid trucks from going into northern Gaza.

The regime has “deliberately starved nearly 400,000 people there, including more than 100,000 children,” the statement said.

“It also destroyed dozens of displacement and shelter centers that house tens of thousands of displaced people who fled their homes in search of safety and security."

Elsewhere in the statement, the media office also said the hospitals were now out of service after coming under intense Israeli fire.

“All hospitals in northern Gaza were destroyed and put out of service, and civil defense crews targeted, with some of them arrested,” it added.

It added that civil defense teams have been hit while on service and some of them have been arrested or prevented from working.

The media office appealed to the international community and UN agencies to assume their responsibilities and pressure Israel to allow the safe passage of aid and “to stop the brutal crimes being committed against civilians in Gaza.”

The Israeli regime's genocidal war on Gaza continues to claim more civilian lives across the besieged Strip, especially in the northern areas.
