Since beginning its occupation of Gaza City on August 6 and burying hundreds of people under the rubble, Israel has completely destroyed more than 1, 000 structures in the Zeitoun and Sabra neighbourhoods, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense.
The organization claimed in a statement on Sunday that numerous rescue and aid operations are being hampered by persistent shelling and restricted access.
Hospitals are overburdened by the number of missing people, the report continued, adding that emergency personnel are unable to respond to numerous reports of missing people.
The Civil Defense expressed grave concerns about Israeli forces continuing to enter Gaza City at a time when field workers are unable to deal with the intensity of Israeli attacks.
“In the Gaza Strip, whether in the north or the south, there is no safe area where shelling continues to target civilians at their homes, shelters, and even in their displacement camps,” he said.
As Israel occupies Gaza City to the fullest, forcing close to 1 million Palestinians there southward, Israeli tanks have been egressing into the Sabra neighborhood.
The claim of the Civil Defense confirms rumors that Israel plans to completely destroy Gaza City, as it did with Rafah, a campaign that rights activists claim could endanger all Palestinians in the area.
According to a source in the emergency and ambulance department of the enclave, at least three people, including a child, were among the latest victims of an attack on a residential apartment in Gaza City.
Over the past few weeks, Israeli bombardment has been relentless in the area where famine has been declared. Residents of the ravaged Jabalia refugee camp reported constant explosions echoing through the neighborhoods, and several buildings were also blown up further north.
According to medical sources, 24 aid seekers and 27 people were killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza on Sunday, according to medical sources.
Eight more people have died from Israeli-induced hunger in Gaza, according to the ministry of health in the region, as hunger spreads, killing 289 people, including 115 children, since the war started.
As they try to secure the meager aid packages at the contentious, Israeli-backed GHF sites, Israeli forces have been regularly opening fire on hungry Palestinians.
It’s “impossible” to remain alive.
The UNRWA director, Philippe Lazzarini, said that famine is the “last calamity” hitting Gaza, where people are experiencing “hell in all shapes.” In response, Lazzarini criticized the humanitarian situation’s worsening.
“Never Again” has purposefully gone back to being “once more.” We will be haunted by this. The most obscene sign of dehumanization is denial, Lazzarini wrote on X.
He added that foreign journalists should be permitted into the enclave and that aid organizations should be permitted by the Israeli government.
Despite heavy bombardment, Gaza’s Ministry of Interior rebuffed Israeli plans to forcibly relocate residents from Gaza City and the northern governorates.
The ministry advised residents to remain in their neighborhoods or relocate to nearby communities only if threatened.
We urge residents of Gaza City to stay in the area’s central and Khan Younis governorates and refrain from responding to the occupation’s threats and terrorism.
The occupation, which falsely claims there is no safe place in any of the governorates of the Gaza Strip, commits the most heinous crimes every day, bombing the tents of displaced people’s camps in areas it falsely claims are safe or humane.
According to Al Jazeera’s reporter from Deir el-Balah, Palestinians are still escaping Gaza City because of frequent Israeli airstrikes and quadcopter attacks.
According to Khoudary, “we met a few of these families, and they said it was [nearly] impossible for them to stay alive because quadcopters were opening fire on whatever was moving in that area.”
Some Palestinians escaped with their lives and were able to flee, but others were confined to those same areas and are now unable to leave, she continued.
Israel is accused of carrying out a genocide in Gaza, according to leading human rights organizations and UN experts.
