‘Unprecedented hardship’ as Israeli forces take control of Jabalia

For 16 days, Israeli forces have advanced into the central areas of the northern Gaza Strip and now have full military control all over Jabalia refugee camp, Sheikh Zayed and Beit Lahiya.

In addition to that, al-Faluja is under heavy artillery and aerial attacks right now. Snipers and quadcopters are shooting everyone who moves in these areas, and civil defence cannot reach the dead bodies in the streets because of the heavy fire.

Some 200,000 Palestinians have had to flee the northern Gaza Strip and the east of the northern Gaza Strip to the west – on the orders of the Israeli forces – in order to have a safer place or a shelter.

All of these people had to flee without water, food or even batteries to light up the dark nights there.

These people are experiencing unprecedented hardship and crushing humanitarian circumstances. And when it comes to food here, famine stalks northern Gaza again as nothing has entered the territory for a very long time, and people here are asking when this will end.

Bodies of killed Palestinian medics recovered

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has recovered the bodies of two of its paramedics who were killed in Rafah’s Tal as-Sultan area last night. As we reported earlier, the paramedics – Haitham Tubasi and Suhail Hassouna – were killed when Israeli forces bombed their ambulance, according to PRCS.

“The Israeli occupation forces deliberately bombed the ambulance vehicle despite it bearing the internationally protected Red Crescent emblem,” PRCS said in a post on X.
