Israeli occupation escalates its crimes of genocide and targets hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip

The Israeli occupation has escalated its ethnic cleansing crimes, committing horrific, bloody massacres that have claimed the lives of dozens of citizens, in addition to targeting hospitals and medical staff, on the fifteenth day of the tight siege on the northern Gaza Strip.

The occupation forces launched intensive air and artillery bombardment on Jabalia camp, Beit Lahia, and the areas of Saftawi, Tel al-Zaatar, Sheikh Zayed, and Tal Qleibo in the northern Gaza Strip, which resulted in the deaths of dozens of martyrs, including children and women.

Corpses in the streets

Medical sources reported that dozens of bodies are still scattered in the streets of the northern Gaza Strip, especially in Jabalia, where ambulance and civil defense crews were unable to reach them due to the intense Israeli bombardment.

The occupation also bombed dozens of houses in different areas of Jabalia camp, which led to the martyrdom and injury of many citizens.

The occupation's drones and vehicles are firing intensively, amidst continuous artillery shelling, coinciding with the movements of vehicles in Jabalia camp and its surroundings, which is being subjected to bombing, destruction, and burning of residential buildings, using explosive barrels and booby-trapped robots.

Dozens of families appealed to ambulance and civil defense crews to rescue them from under the rubble of their destroyed homes, and others from the fires raging as a result of the violent and intense occupation bombing.

targeting hospitals

The occupation tanks penetrated the northern Gaza Strip, reaching the gate of the Indonesian Hospital in the Sheikh Zayed area, besieging it from all sides, and demolishing part of its walls.

According to medical sources from inside the hospital, "the electricity was cut off, and it cannot be reconnected again, due to the dangerous situation and the presence of occupation forces in the area."

There are 30 injured people inside the besieged hospital, in addition to patients, 10 of whom need special care and oxygen around the clock.

Regarding Al-Awda Hospital in Tal al-Zaatar, north of the Gaza Strip, the occupation artillery shelled the upper floors three times, which led to the injury of a number of medical staff, one of whom was very seriously injured.

This comes in conjunction with the occupation forces continuing their campaign of extermination in the northern Gaza Strip for 15 days, by bombing homes and shelters, and blowing up, destroying, and burning entire residential neighborhoods, in addition to preventing the entry of food and water into the area, which has left hundreds of martyrs and wounded, in light of the almost complete disruption of the work of ambulance and civil defense crews, as a result of targeting them, or preventing them from performing their duties.

(350) thousand citizens were forced to flee due to the brutal bombing of the occupation by aircraft and artillery, and hospitals are still deprived of medical and non-medical supplies, which has directly affected their ability to provide medical services to patients and the injured. In addition, the reality in the northern Gaza Strip has led to the displacement of medical competencies, which has left citizens in a state of medical exposure.

The occupation forces have continued their aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 42,500 citizens and the injury of 99,546 others, the majority of whom are children and women, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of people are still missing under the rubble.
