Situation in northern Gaza getting more critical by the hour
Medical sources at Kamal Adwan Hospital say they are running short of medical supplies and essential medical needs, including fuel that is highly required to guarantee that operations can be conducted.
They are also dealing with high rates of casualties among civilians, the people who are getting killed in the north of the Gaza Strip, in their evacuation centres, houses and while walking on the streets of Jabalia by the Israeli drones and quadcopters.
The sources say that lots of patients and injured people are succumbing to their wounds due to the lack of essential medication because the Israeli military is still imposing significant restrictions on the flow of essential medical supplies to the north of the Gaza Strip.
The vast majority of neighbourhoods in Gaza’s northern part have been under relentless attacks and now stand in ruins.
People are appealing to the international community, saying that they are getting killed while they are hungry, thirsty and unable to even flee due to the closure of all ways leading to Gaza City, which means that they are trapped there in horrific humanitarian conditions.
Israeli bombing of hospital grounds ‘beyond any rationale’
Dr Mohammed Tahir, a surgeon on his third medical mission to Gaza at Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir el-Balah, spoke to Al Jazeera about the situation at the hospital after today’s attacks.
He said he was in the operating room, dealing with a nerve injury, when he heard the blasts on a nearby school-turned-shelter. He said the whole hospital was “inundated” with casualties, with women, children and men “dying in front of our eyes”.
While in the operating room, he said another bombing happened within the grounds of the hospital. He said it is “beyond any rationale that a hospital can be attacked in such a grave manner”. “People are traumatised. People have got to the point where they feel there is no hope … no one is coming to save them,” he said.
He pleaded to the rest of the world “to do more” as the actions of the Israeli military are “not acceptable”. “If you walk through the wards, you have children covered in bandages from head to toe, and those are the ones that have survived, it’s really a terrible situation,” he said.

Israeli forces preventing entry of aid into northern Gaza
A government official in Gaza has told Al Jazeera that no relief supplies have been allowed to enter northern Gaza since October 1.
The trucks that entered today reached Gaza City but did not enter Jabalia camp and the besieged area, the official said, adding that the humanitarian situation has reached “extremely difficult levels” due to the scarcity of food supplies and water.
The official added that while the United Nations said it was trying to bring aid into Jabalia camp, Israeli forces are preventing that from taking place.
