‘Carnage’ for civilians as Israeli military siege of Jabalia continues
Eleven days and the Jabalia refugee camp is still under a very tight humanitarian and military siege.
No aid has been delivered to the north of Gaza and families there are trapped under heavy land and aerial attacks by Israeli fighter jets and infantry units, which are battling inside key urban centres in Jabalia.
We need to remember that the Jabalia refugee camp covers just 1.5 square kilometres [0.57 square miles] of territory in the north of the Gaza Strip, but the eyes of the Israeli military are on Jabalia. They believe that Jabalia is a stronghold for Hamas.
There has been a clear intensification and families are no longer able to flee from Jabalia or cope with the growing security concerns that face them in light of the full military closure of all ways to Gaza City.
That means the families in Jabalia are really going through the systematic destruction of their residential homes and the ongoing carnage that continues to unfold for everyone trapped there in that corner of the Strip.

US advocacy group condemns ‘double tap’ attack that killed children, doctor in Jabalia
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has condemned an Israeli “double tap” attack that killed several children, as well as a doctor who tried to save them, in the Jabalia refugee camp in the north of Gaza.
The Israeli military reportedly returned to bomb the home of the family of a US citizen after an initial strike injured 15 people, including seven children, on Monday night, CAIR said in a statement.
Trapped under the rubble, the family called for help, but Israeli forces also then targeted an ambulance, killing Ahmed Najjar, a doctor, and several children, CAIR said.
CAIR called on US leaders, including the Biden administration, the US State Department and elected officials in Virginia, where the family’s relatives live, to “demand that the Israeli government cease its attacks on” Jabalia.
