Director and spokesperson of the Civil Defense in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal:
—
More than 100,000 people are present in the besieged northern part of the Gaza Strip, 60 per cent of whom are children and women.

We are receiving numerous pleas from the north of the Strip to rescue them and retrieve the wounded and the dead from under the rubble.

The medical teams currently in the north of the Strip are civilian teams, and the occupation does not want any medical system to operate there.

There are 137 martyrs beneath the rubble of the building destroyed by the occupation in the Beit Lahia project a few days ago.

We receive pleas about the complete lack of food or medicine in the northern Strip, and no international organization has responded to our calls so far.

Distressing scenes unfold as the bodies of Palestinians killed by the Israeli occupation remain lying in the streets, being mutilated by cats, making it difficult to identify them.

According to medical sources, dozens of bodies remain lying in the streets, with rescue and civil defense teams unable to reach and recover them due to the Israeli siege and relentless attacks in northern Gaza.
