770 martyrs in 19 days.. The occupation continues to destroy Jabalia, displace its residents, and besiege hospitals

For its part, the government media office in Gaza said that the occupation army killed more than 770 martyrs and wounded more than a thousand in Jabalia camp and town and their surroundings during 19 days, noting that the occupation army kidnapped more than 200 civilians, including women, in the northern Gaza Strip governorate.

He added that the occupation army forced thousands of civilians, most of whom were women, children and the elderly, under the threat of killing, bombing and burning their tents and centres, to flee and be forcibly displaced from their homes and residential neighbourhoods and from displacement and shelter centres in the northern Gaza Strip Governorate, indicating that the occupation army destroyed and burned many displacement and shelter centres that housed tens of thousands of displaced persons and civilians.

The office pointed out that the occupation army "practiced deception and lies to the citizens. According to the documentation of field accounts and eyewitnesses, the occupation army asked the civilians to move according to the paths and corridors it had specified for them, and promised them that they were safe corridors. However, when the displaced people passed through them, the occupation army opened fire on them, executed many of them and left them to bleed to death. It also injured a number of others, and kidnapped a number of others, including displaced women."

He added that the occupation army used various types of fighter and intelligence aircraft, tanks, shells and all types of internationally prohibited weapons. It also used the method of sniping civilians and leaving them to bleed to death in the streets, and preventing ambulances and emergency vehicles from reaching them to rescue them, during the massacres it committed in the north.

Hospitals are calling for help

The Government Media Office in Gaza said that more than 100,000 wounded and sick people in the northern Gaza Strip need urgent and rapid health and medical care, "which is currently unavailable due to the occupation's destruction of the health system and the four hospitals, which are Al-Yaman Al-Saeed Hospital, Al-Awda Hospital, the Indonesian Hospital, and Kamal Adwan Hospital."

The office pointed out, in a statement, that the remaining medical supplies had completely run out, and that the occupation had targeted medical crews, executing and wounding many of them, the last of whom was Dr. Muhammad Ghanem, who works at Kamal Adwan Hospital.

He called for the immediate and urgent opening of humanitarian corridors, in order to allow the entry of medical supplies to the remaining medical teams and Kamal Adwan Hospital, as well as to try to deliver treatments and medicines to hundreds of wounded and sick people in the northern Gaza Strip, and to bring food to the medical teams.

In turn, Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, said that all types of medicines and medical supplies have completely run out in the hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, which has been witnessing a genocide committed by the Israeli army for 19 days.

Abu Safiya added that the medical teams cannot provide blood units for the wounded, and every hour a wounded person turns into a martyr due to the lack of medical supplies and equipment. He continued: The world must act, as there is a real massacre and an Israeli war of extermination that affects everyone in the northern Gaza Strip.

Vaccination campaign postponed due to bombing

The World Health Organization said on Wednesday that the intense bombing, mass displacement and difficulty in reaching the northern Gaza Strip have forced the postponement of the polio vaccination campaign, explaining that the final phase of the campaign, which was scheduled to begin on Wednesday, aims to vaccinate more than 119,000 children in the northern Gaza Strip.

The organization added in a statement that "the current circumstances... make it impossible for families to take their children to receive the vaccine and for health workers to do their job." The organization attributed this postponement to "the escalation of violence, intensive shelling, mass transfer orders and the absence of humanitarian truces, in most areas of the northern Gaza Strip."

The second vaccination campaign began on October 14 in central Gaza, vaccinating some 590,000 children under the age of 10 throughout the Strip. Two days later, the World Health Organization called on Israel to allow it to safely complete the second polio vaccination campaign in Gaza, particularly in the north of the Strip.

With American support, Israel has been waging a genocidal war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 143,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded 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.

Tel Aviv continues this war, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to end it immediately and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
