On Wednesday, local authorities declared Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, a “disaster city” due to the genocidal war and the Israeli siege, and launched an “urgent distress call” that included 5 demands to “save what can be saved.”

The Beit Lahia municipality said that the city's residents are suffering a "humanitarian catastrophe" as a result of "the ongoing war of extermination and the siege imposed on the city."

She explained that the city has become "without food, without water, without hospitals, without first aid, without civil defense, without doctors, without services (sewage and waste) and without communications."

She continued: "Accordingly, we declare Beit Lahia a disaster-stricken city, and we issue an urgent distress call for the necessity of saving whatever can be saved in the city that is being subjected to killing and genocide."

The municipality directed 5 demands to the international community and international and humanitarian organizations, which are: “Pressure the occupation to stop the genocide in the city of Beit Lahia.”

She added: "And opening a safe corridor to bring in all medical supplies, food and fuel to save the health and service system."

She added: "And bringing in civil defense and ambulance equipment to work on retrieving the martyrs and the injured from under the rubble, especially after the occupation committed a number of massacres against citizens."

The municipality also called for "the entry of fuel needed to operate water wells, desalination plants and sewage pumps", as well as "the entry of heavy machinery to open roads and remove rubble, to facilitate the movement of citizens, ambulances and civil defense vehicles".

For the twenty-sixth day, the Israeli army continues its invasion and war of extermination in the northern Gaza Strip, specifically in Jabalia, its camp, and Beit Lahia, where it is destroying all aspects of life in the area.

Palestinians confirm that Israel is working to occupy northern Gaza and turn it into a buffer zone and displace citizens, under a strict siege that prevents the entry of food, water and medicine, and intensive bombing that has killed at least a thousand Palestinians.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with full American support, has been waging a "genocidal" war on Gaza, resulting in more than 144,000 Palestinian deaths and injuries, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and the elderly, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.

Israel has occupied Arab lands in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon for decades, and rejects the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the borders before the 1967 war with East Jerusalem as its capital.
