Israel Denies Request to Rescue Trapped Victims in Rubble
The worsening humanitarian situation in the north of Gaza due to Israeli attacks has been highlighted by UNRWA Gaza Media Office Deputy Director Inas Hamdan. He expressed concern over the dire conditions faced by tens of thousands of civilians in the area.
Hamdan emphasized that the ongoing military attacks in the north of Gaza are endangering the lives of civilians and restricting access to basic necessities such as water. Reports have indicated that Palestinians trapped in the Cebaliya Refugee Camp are running out of essential supplies like food and water.
Furthermore, Hamdan disclosed that Israel targeted Indonesia and Al-Awde hospitals, two out of the three hospitals in the north of Gaza, on October 18. These attacks on healthcare facilities have exacerbated the already dire humanitarian situation in the region.
The Israeli army’s recent land attack on northern Gaza, specifically targeting the Cibaliya Refugee Camp, has raised concerns about a potential forced migration of Palestinians from the area. This move is believed to be part of a larger plan to create settlements for Israelis, known as the “Generals Plan”.
Israeli Army Spokesperson Avichay Adraee’s warning to Palestinians in Beit Hanoun, Cibaliya, and Beit Lahiya to evacuate to the Mevasi region in the south of Gaza aligns with the objectives of the “Generals Plan”. This plan involves deporting Palestinians from the north of the Gaza Strip, blockading the region, and depriving residents of essential resources.
The “Generals Plan” ultimately aims to pressure armed resisters in Gaza to surrender or face the threat of death. Those who refuse or are unable to leave the area are treated as enemy combatants, further endangering the lives of innocent civilians.
As the situation in the north of Gaza continues to deteriorate, it is crucial for international bodies and humanitarian organizations to intervene and protect the rights and safety of the Palestinian population facing these oppressive tactics by the Israeli authorities.
