More than 100,000 residents trapped in Israeli siege on north Gaza, Palestinian agency warns
The Palestinian Civil Emergency Service has reported that tens of thousands of residents are trapped in the Israeli siege on the northern Gaza Strip, lacking sufficient food, water, and medicine supply.
Gaza Civil Defense Spokesman Mahmoud Basal announced that more than 100,000 Palestinians in the areas of Jabalia, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahia are subjected to Israeli siege and bombardment.
The spokesman said its operations had ground to a halt because of the three-week-long Israeli force's brutal invasion of the north.
"The Israeli occupation is killing anyone who tries to provide aid to the people of the northern Gaza Strip," Basal said.
“The fate of many people remains unknown as the occupation regime is carrying out the ethnic cleansing of the northern part of the Palestinian enclave,” he added.
The Civil Defence official pointed out that for 22 days, not a drop of water or a piece of bread has entered the northern Gaza Strip, slamming the international inaction towards what’s happening in northern Gaza.
Over the past three weeks, Israel has besieged northern Gaza, killing at least 820 people and blocking off any water, food, or humanitarian aid while preventing people from entering or exiting.
The brutal Israeli regime forces have stormed hospitals and medical facilities in the north, with displacement shelters also bombarded in the Zionist strikes.
Gaza's Health Ministry reported that the northern Gaza Strip is facing a war of extermination and ethnic cleansing for the 23rd consecutive day as Israeli forces continue their intensified attacks.
The Ministry indicated that the Israeli forces had effectively rendered the healthcare system in northern Gaza inoperable in the regime's plan to maximize the number of Palestinians being killed in Gaza.
The Israeli war machine launched the genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out a retaliatory operation against the occupying entity in response to the regime’s decades-long atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Since October 2023, the US-Israeli genocide across the besieged Gaza Strip has killed more than 43,000, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
Earlier this year, the United Nations' top court ordered the Israeli regime to take all measures to prevent genocide in Gaza. Till now, however, all international efforts to stop the genocidal war on Gaza have been to no avail due to Washington’s unwavering support to the Tel Aviv regime’s expansionist policy.
