“They are completely besieged within the city … which has resulted in injuries without any medical points or hospitals to treat them in the city after the occupation army destroyed the Beit Hanoun City Hospital.”
Thousands of Palestinians are enduring a fifth consecutive day of an Israeli blockade in the northern Gaza Strip city of Beit Hanoun, facing shortages of necessities like water and food. The Gaza Media Office reported that residents are stranded without access to basic supplies, surrounded by Israeli forces who have invaded nearby areas.
The Media Office called on the international community to intervene and end the siege by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza. The ongoing conflict has led to mass casualties, with over 35,000 Palestinians killed and thousands more wounded since October.
The crisis has also forced nearly two million people to be displaced, creating a humanitarian disaster in Gaza. The indiscriminate attacks by Israel have resulted in a grave situation, prompting urgent calls for assistance from global relief organizations.
