Israel has killed 770 Palestinians in 19 days of Jabalia siege: Gaza media office
Israel has massacred more than 770 Palestinians in over two weeks of military attacks on the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern part of the besieged Gaza Strip.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Gaza's Government Media Office (GMO) said over 1,000 Palestinians have also been injured.
More than 200 civilians, including women, it said, have been “kidnapped” and dozens more remain missing.
“We express our fear that they may have been executed in the field, as has been done on many previous occasions.”
More than 100,000 wounded and sick people in the northern parts of Gaza are in “urgent need” of humanitarian assistance, which remains elusive due to the Israeli military’s destruction of four hospitals in the area, according to the office.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza has released a video that shows Israeli soldiers directly opening fire on emergency responders at the site of the bombing of a family home in the Fakhoura area of Jabalia.
Jabalia has been the focus of an Israeli operation for 19 days. The regime has also sent tanks into the nearby Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun.
Israel has prevented those who fled their homes earlier from returning.
The UN says no trucks of food, water, or medicine have entered the northern Gaza Strip since September 30.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres and several heads of state have condemned the “large number of civilian casualties in the intensifying Israeli campaign in northern Gaza.”
On Tuesday, Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of UNRWA, sounded the alarm on the dire humanitarian situation in the north.
“The smell of death is everywhere,” Lazzarini said. “In northern Gaza, people are just waiting to die.”
The north is home to well over half of the population of 2.3 million. It was heavily bombed in the first phase of Israel’s barbaric campaign since October 2023.
Backed by the United States to the hilt, Israel keeps massacring Palestinians in Gaza. Since October 2023, it has killed close to 43,000 Palestinians. More than 100,000 are injured, in need of treatment which is absolutely tough to receive.
