Israeli military boasts about tens of thousands displaced from Jabalia
The Israeli military has released aerial footage showing the large-scale destruction of Jabalia in northern Gaza as it forced tens of thousands of Palestinians to flee amid an expanding siege and repeated threats for people to leave or face bombardment.
Civilians were seen fleeing the area in large numbers as tanks and blacked-out or destroyed buildings surrounded them.
The military boasted that another 20,000 more Palestinians are now forcibly displaced from the area, “despite the efforts of Hamas to prevent the citizens from evacuating the area”. It claimed that this signifies “the breaking of the Hamas siege on Jabalia”.
The Israeli army also claimed that it had arrested more than 150 Palestinian fighters in the area.
Displaced Palestinians on the border of Jabalia refugee camp were forcibly displaced by the Israeli army to southern areas with only the belongings they could carry in Jabalia, Gaza on October 22
UN request to bring aid to Kamal Adwan Hospital ‘denied by Israeli authorities’
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that its humanitarian teams led by the WHO have arrived at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza to evacuate critical patients.
“But our request to bring food, fuel, blood and medicines was denied by Israeli authorities,” it said in a post on X.
Richard Peeperkorn, a WHO representative, said it is “incomprehensible” that after more than a year, regular humanitarian missions are being denied.
Situation in northern Gaza deteriorating as people try to flee
The situation in northern Gaza is still escalating and becoming harder every minute. Families are surrounded by Israeli soldiers, tanks, artillery shelling, quadcopters and air strikes.
They are also being arrested and interrogated, with some being shot at.
The International Committee of the Red Cross, the Palestine Red Crescent Society and other organisations are receiving a lot of calls from civilians in those areas asking for protection to evacuate because of the attacks. They are also asking for food and drink after three weeks of no supplies getting into the area.
We also need to talk about the people who are trapped under the rubble. Many Palestinians did not leave their homes and were targeted.
Civil Defence teams and paramedics are saying that they cannot reach collapsed houses because there has been a lot of shooting on them if they proceed towards the sites and that they do not have the exact location of the homes or the required equipment.
Israeli forces shoot at civil defence crew in Jabalia
The Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza has released a video that shows Israeli soldiers directly opening fire on emergency responders as they responded to the bombing of a family home in the al-Fakhoura area of Jabalia, in northern Gaza.
The video shared on Telegram shows emergency responders rummaging through debris at night, only to be forced into cover after being targeted by live ammunition. In the morning, bullet holes could be seen in their vehicles, including a fire truck.
Earlier today, the organisation had also reported that its first responders had to withdraw from another mission in Beit Lahiya after Israeli soldiers opened fire on them.
At least 770 killed in 19 days of Israeli siege on Jabalia: Gaza gov’t media office
The Government Media Office in Gaza has said that more than 770 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,000 wounded after 19 days of Israeli military attacks on Jabalia in the northern part of the territory.
It said in a statement that more than 200 civilians, including women, have been “kidnapped”, and dozens more remain missing amid communications issues.
“We express our fear that they may have been executed in the field, as has been done on many previous occasions,” it added.
More than 100,000 wounded and sick people in the northern parts of Gaza are in “urgent need” of assistance, which remains elusive due to the Israeli military’s destruction of the health system and four hospitals in the area, according to the office.
