Satellite Imagery Unveils Military Presence in Northern Gaza
Recent satellite images captured on October 11 have revealed a significant deployment of Israeli military vehicles in the northern Gaza Strip. These images indicate that the vehicles are strategically positioned to isolate the northern Gaza governorate from the rest of the territory. The military presence is concentrated along two main axes: one advancing from Beit Lahia in the north and another from east Jabalia. This military strategy has created a continuous line of vehicles that effectively surrounds the region, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis Amidst Military Operations
For the past ten days, residents in northern Gaza have been enduring severe hardships due to the ongoing military operations. The Israeli forces are reportedly targeting anyone attempting to access water or operate wells, leading to dire shortages of essential resources. Thousands of civilians remain trapped in their homes, facing extreme shortages of food and water as humanitarian aid is blocked from entering the area. The situation has left many without access to basic necessities, compounding the suffering of the local population.
Casualties and Destruction in Jabalia Camp
The toll of the conflict has been devastating, with reports indicating that over 300 Palestinians have lost their lives in the northern Gaza Strip due to the ongoing violence. The director of the government media office in Gaza, Ismail Al-Thawabta, described the situation as a continuous genocide, highlighting that bodies remain scattered in homes and streets, particularly in Jabalia camp. Many wounded individuals are unable to reach hospitals due to the intense military activity and the separation of northern Gaza from Gaza City, which is being enforced by military vehicles and drone surveillance.
