Northern Gaza is experiencing one of the most violent campaigns of genocide, and we call on the international community for urgent and decisive intervention:
We warn of an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe as the occupation tightens its siege on Jabalia Camp and the surrounding eastern and northern neighborhoods such as Tal Al-Zaatar, Al-Sikka, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahia, in addition to their presence in the western parts reaching Yafa Cemetery and Al-Tawam Junction for the fourth consecutive day.
– The occupation forces continue their invasion of large parts of northern Gaza since the evening of last Saturday, October 5th, amidst airstrikes, fire belts, and artillery bombardment, including the bombing of homes on top of their residents, resulting in dozens of martyrs and wounded.
– We received preliminary information about the execution of five civilians by the occupation forces, including a woman, a man, and his son, during their attempt to flee from Jabalia Camp despite them carrying white flags.
– In a dangerous development, the army has ordered the evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital located in the Beit Lahia Project, while the hospital is under siege by drones (quadcopters), with dozens of airstrikes targeting surrounding buildings and its gate being hit with smoke bombs.
– The occupation’s bombardment has cut off the only road used by ambulances to transport critical injuries from Kamal Adwan Hospital to the Baptist Hospital.
– The field team of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor received testimonies from civilians who managed to reach Gaza City, reporting seeing the bodies of martyrs in the streets, along with other victims trapped under the rubble of homes that were bombed.
– Thousands of people besieged in Jabalia Camp, Beit Lahia, and Jabalia are suffering from an almost complete depletion of food supplies, which were already scarce due to the closure of “israeli” crossings and the halt in the limited aid and goods that had been entering for over a week before the latest invasion.
– The occupation army is systematically attempting to empty northern Gaza of its residents, pushing them into forced displacement to the south.
– The occupation’s military operation has no war-related objective or necessity, but rather aims to complete the destruction that has affected more than 85% of the buildings in northern Gaza, targeting civilians and forcing them to evacuate the area, turning it entirely into a military zone.
– We demand the United Nations and the international community to immediately intervene to save tens of thousands of civilians in northern Gaza, stop the horrific ethnic cleansing taking place against them, and put an end to the genocide that the occupation has been committing for the second consecutive year.
