UN warning: Israeli practices threaten the demise of the Palestinian presence in the northern Gaza Strip

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights warned that the attacks, restrictions and forced displacement of the Israeli occupation forces in the northern Gaza Strip could lead to "the end of the Palestinian presence in that area."


The office said in a statement on Monday that "the attacks launched by Israel in northern Gaza are horrific."


He added that life has become "impossible" for civilians trapped in northern Gaza, and that many residents are on the brink of starvation due to repeated forced displacement and severe restrictions on access to essential humanitarian aid supplies.


He pointed out that the occupation forces continue to bomb and brutally attack the area, especially Jabalia refugee camp and its surroundings.


The statement confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces stripped many citizens of their property before the onset of winter and destroyed homes and schools used as shelters.


On October 6, the occupation forces launched a ground invasion in the northern Gaza Strip, besieged the entire area, and carried out several massacres, including the direct execution of displaced persons, the bombing of civilian gatherings, and the targeting of schools housing displaced persons. They also prevented the entry of water, food, and medicine supplies.


The occupation forces continue their aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, which resulted in the martyrdom of 42,603 citizens and the injury of 99,795 others, the majority of whom are children and women, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of people are still missing under the rubble.
