The northern Gaza Strip is witnessing human suffering, which local officials have described as a disaster, especially after the Israeli occupation separated the northern areas of the Strip from Gaza City, and prevented the entry of aid and medical teams, at a time when the Palestinian resistance targeted occupation forces in the Jabalia camp in the north and Rafah in the south.
A government official told Tel Aviv Tribune that since the first of this month, no relief materials have been allowed to enter the northern Gaza Strip, and that the trucks that entered today arrived in Gaza City, and did not enter the Jabalia camp and the besieged area.
The official added that the United Nations informed us that it is trying to bring aid into Jabalia camp, but the occupation prevents this, stressing that the humanitarian situation has reached extremely difficult levels due to the scarcity of food supplies and the interruption of water.
The official pointed out that the occupation is falsely promoting to the world that the trucks entered the besieged area.
For his part, Fares Afaneh, director of the medical services ambulance in northern Gaza, told Tel Aviv Tribune that the occupation forces are preventing medical teams and ambulance teams from reaching the wounded trapped in Jabalia camp.
Afana added that medical services have been receiving distress calls since the first day of the siege, but to no avail, because the occupation forces deliberately targeted medical teams.
Continuous bombing
In the latest developments in the Israeli bombing, 8 Palestinians were martyred and 23 others were injured, today, Monday, by an Israeli air strike that targeted a gathering of citizens in Gaza City, and two tents for displaced persons in the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, one of which is located within an area that Israel claims is safe.
In the same context, a medical source told Tel Aviv Tribune that 30 people were killed in Israeli raids on the northern Gaza Strip since dawn today.
While dozens of martyrs and wounded fell in a bombing that targeted an aid distribution center in Jabalia camp, sources told Tel Aviv Tribune that the bodies of dozens of martyrs were still under the rubble of homes and in the streets of the camp.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent said that the occupation forces bombed an ambulance near the “Happy Yemen Hospital” in Jabalia Camp, northern Gaza Strip, causing a number of injuries.
The reporter said that the rescue teams were able to recover the bodies of 9 martyrs from different areas in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, and the bodies were held in funerals after being transferred to the “Nasser Medical Complex” in Khan Yunis.
For his part, Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Munir Al-Bursh, said that the number of martyrs and wounded in the northern Gaza Strip is increasing due to the massacres committed by the occupation against citizens, the most recent of which was the massacre of the supply center in the Jabalia camp.
Al-Bersh appealed to stop the massacres in the Gaza Strip and described the situation as catastrophic. He added that hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip were no longer able to provide medical service appropriately, due to the Israeli siege imposed on the region and the prevention of the arrival of the necessary medical supplies.
