Recent reports from Gaza’s Government Media Office reveal a harrowing truth – over 770 Palestinians have lost their lives in just 19 days due to intense Israeli airstrikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. More than 1,000 others have been injured, and over 200 civilians, including women, have been taken captive with fears of potential executions.
The situation in the refugee camp is dire, with the assault expanding into neighboring areas. The United Nations has reported a blockade preventing essential supplies from reaching the region since September 30, exacerbating the suffering of civilians.
United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, paints a grim picture, describing the pervasive “smell of death” and civilians feeling helpless in the face of ongoing violence.
Despite international pleas for a ceasefire, Israel continues to commit atrocities, displacing a large part of Gaza’s population and pushing the humanitarian crisis to a breaking point.
