‘No oxygen for patients’, says Palestinian doctor from Jabalia
Al Jazeera spoke to Imad Abu Zayda, an emergency doctor in Jabalia. He told us about the dire situation there. “No light due to the lack of fuel and there’s no medical supplement available as Israel has expanded their operation in the area. We have no oxygen to give to patients.”
“Most of the injured are children and women. We are operating with minimum facilities.”
Israeli attacks intensify across the Gaza Strip
In the course of the past 24 hours, there is clear pressure being exerted by the Israeli military on three fronts inside the Gaza Strip. They have been maximising pressure on Rafah, the middle area as well as the north of the territory.
Remember that the Israeli military has passed an evacuation order for residents of the Jabalia refugee camp and in the central areas of Rafah.
The Israeli military has started to intensify the bombardment of the Jabalia camp in the past couple of hours, destroying residential houses and attacking evacuation centres.
They say they are trying to completely eliminate Hamas battalions there despite a previous announcement that said they had managed to take military control in the north of this Strip.
Israeli tanks enter Jabalia refugee camp
There are more serious developments now as Israeli military tanks have started to go deeper into the Jabalia refugee camp. They have crossed Salah al-Din Street into the camp as battles are raging between Hamas fighters and the Israeli military.
We have been hearing from eyewitnesses on the ground, in that very densely populated area, that military tanks are surrounding evacuation centres and residential buildings.
They have been describing the situation as critically dire as they witness mass evacuations and displacement to the western part of Gaza City. Those residents had been moved from one place to another during the previous military incursion to the refugee camp, and now, again, they are leaving.
