Israeli military forces besieged hospitals and shelters for displaced people in the northern Gaza Strip as they stepped up their operations, preventing critical aid from reaching civilians, residents and medics said.
“People attempting to flee are getting killed, their bodies left on the street,” UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini said on X. Later, Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital said at least two critically wounded patients at the facility’s intensive care unit died because of the lack of medical supplies.
The Israeli military said in a statement its troops had dismantled infrastructure and tunnel shafts and killed alleged fighters in the Jabalia area. “We are facing death by bombs, by thirst and hunger,” said Raed, a resident of Jabalia camp. “Jabalia is being wiped out and there is no witness to the crime, the world is blinding its eyes.”Hadeel Obeid, a supervisor nurse at the Indonesian hospital, said they were running out of medical supplies, including sterile gauze and medications. The water supply has been cut off and there was no food for the fourth consecutive day, she said.
Israeli officials said evacuation orders were aimed at separating Hamas fighters from civilians and denied there was any systematic plan to clear out civilians. It said its forces operating in northern Gaza killed scores of people it accused of being Hamas gunmen.Hamas accused Israel of carrying out acts of “genocide and ethnic cleansing” to force people to leave northern Gaza. Israel also faces charges of violations of the 1948 Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice.
