Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
The situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate as Israeli bombardments have resulted in significant civilian casualties. On Wednesday, 12 Palestinians were killed in various attacks, including a strike on Al-Zahraa School, which was sheltering thousands of displaced individuals. The relentless airstrikes have led to widespread destruction, particularly in Jabalia, where residential areas are being systematically targeted.
Displacement and Destruction in Jabalia
The Israeli military's operations in Jabalia have forced thousands of civilians to flee under threat of death. According to reports, the Israeli forces are focusing on emptying residential blocks, leading to grave danger for those remaining. The Civil Defense in Gaza has highlighted the destruction of entire residential blocks and the targeting of hospitals, including Kamal Adwan and Al-Awda, which are now surrounded and inaccessible to medical personnel and patients.
Hospitals in Dire Need of Assistance
Medical facilities in northern Gaza are facing a catastrophic shortage of supplies. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, reported that all types of medicines have run out, and medical teams are unable to provide necessary care to the wounded. The situation is dire, with many patients succumbing to their injuries due to lack of medical resources. Calls for international intervention have intensified as the humanitarian crisis unfolds amidst ongoing violence.
