People trapped under the rubble send appeals in northern Gaza
The tragedies keep on unfolding across the northern part of the Gaza Strip. Today marks the 13th day of this military siege and people don’t have proper access to any of the necessities to keep them alive.
Let’s start with the many appeals made by people who are trapped under rubble. Many families have been targeted inside their residential homes in a neighbourhood at the entrance to the northern cities in the Gaza Strip.
Many of their homes have been flattened completely while people are inside them, whether it’s the Red Cross or civil defence departments, the paramedics are in touch with people under the rubble.
There is a fear right now that soon their phones will run out of batteries and they won’t be able to send more appeals. It would be very difficult to know if they are going to make it out from under the rubble or not.
Death toll rises in Gaza
At least 42,438 people have been killed and 99,246 wounded in Israeli military attacks on Gaza since October 7, 2023, the enclave’s Health Ministry says. Of those, 29 Palestinians were killed and 93 wounded in the latest 24-hour reporting period, the ministry added.
