Gaza Civil Defense: 100,000 trapped in northern Gaza

GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Gaza Civil Defense Spokesman Mahmoud Basal said that more than 100,000 Palestinians in the areas of Jabalia, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia are subjected to Israeli siege and bombardment.

The Israeli occupation is killing anyone who tries to provide aid to the people of the northern Gaza Strip, Basal said, adding that many people’s fate remain unknown till today as the occupation is practicing a policy of ethnic cleansing in the northern Gaza Strip.

Basal pointed out that for 22 days, not a drop of water or 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 the northern Gaza, killing at least 820 people and blocking off any water, food or humanitarian aid while preventing people from entering or exiting.

Israeli forces have stormed hospitals and medical facilities in the north, with displacement shelters also bombarded.
