North Gaza undergoing ‘mass enforced displacement’
Since the early hours of this morning, we’ve been getting confirmed reports of the horror unfolding in the north of the Strip, including the mass enforced displacement of an entire population that has been suffering for the past 18 days – no food, no water supplies and no survival items to support their existence.
This is in addition to the deliberate prevention and obstruction of entry of humanitarian aid in the northern part of the Strip. We are seeing scenes of people carrying white flags and going through checkpoints. It’s heartbreaking because people are being forced out of their homes under heavy bombardment.
What’s scary about these checkpoints is they are equipped with high-tech surveillance cameras and metal detectors. According to people who went through them, many women and children were arrested at these checkpoints.
Israel’s aim is to displace or exterminate Palestinians: Hamas official
Hamas official Osama Hamdan says relentless attacks by the Israeli forces aim to displace or exterminate the Palestinians.
Here are some of the key takeaways from his speech:
- Israel has rejected all requests for the entry of aid into northern Gaza.
- At least 700 people have been killed during the Israeli military operation in northern Gaza which is in its 18th day.
- The credibility of the international community and its institutions is being tested on the charters they were founded on.
- Israeli crimes are being carried out with the full US support.
- The one-month deadline from the US for Israeli forces to consider allowing aid in confirms it is giving it a deadline to commit more crimes.
- Only Palestinians can decide the details of the day after the war.
- We demand a UN Security Council meeting to put pressure on Israel to stop the aggression.
