Tehran / November 2 / IRNA - The Israeli occupation continues its aggression against the Gaza Strip for the 27th consecutive day, committing bloody massacres and tightening its siege on the Strip.
Local media reported that the occupation committed a new massacre in the residential area between Al-Khulafa Al-Rashideen Square and Al-Hawja Street in the center of Jabalia refugee camp. Occupation aircraft bombed an entire residential block, burying its inhabitants alive, in conjunction with heavy artillery shelling, resulting in numerous martyrs and wounded.
Meanwhile, civil defense teams are conducting search and rescue operations for wounded people under the rubble after a house belonging to the Anbar family in Jabalia camp, in the northern Gaza Strip, was targeted. Nineteen people have been reported killed so far.
The massacre continues.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) described the Israeli raids on Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip as a "massacre." In a statement, UNICEF described the scenes of carnage emerging from the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip following the Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday and Wednesday as "horrific." The organization noted that while it does not yet have an estimate of the number of child casualties, homes were destroyed, and it appears that hundreds of people were injured or killed, with reports indicating that many of the victims were children. Al-Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the Israeli occupation launched a series of intense airstrikes around the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, coinciding with the arrival of several victims of the Jabalia massacre at the hospital. Meanwhile, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced that the main generator at the Indonesian Hospital had stopped functioning, adding that hundreds of patients and wounded individuals were at imminent risk due to the generator's failure. Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra confirmed that the Indonesian Hospital had resorted to an emergency plan by operating its secondary generator, which caused the electromechanical systems in all departments of the hospital, including the ventilation systems, to shut down. Al-Qudra also indicated that the hospital's only oxygen plant had stopped operating. At the hospital, too, the electricity was cut off in the inpatient wards, forcing the use of flashlights for lighting, and the morgue refrigerators ceased functioning.
The Ministry spokesperson confirmed that operating under an exceptional plan might allow the hospital to function for a few days, but "if the fuel doesn't arrive, we will inevitably face a catastrophe," appealing to people of conscience to intervene immediately to supply Al-Shifa Hospital and the Indonesian Hospital with fuel.
According to Al-Mayadeen's correspondent, Israeli warplanes renewed their bombardment of the area surrounding Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, amid warnings that the hospital's services would be forced to shut down within hours due to the lack of fuel.
This comes as the only cancer treatment hospital in the besieged Gaza Strip announced its closure due to fuel depletion, putting the lives of 2,000 patients at risk, according to Palestinian health officials.
Intense Raids
Simultaneously, Al-Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli forces continued to bombard the Al-Karama Towers area in Gaza City, and launched a series of intense Israeli airstrikes and artillery shells on the Tel Al-Hawa area west of Gaza City. He noted that Israeli warplanes also targeted a house near the Beit Lahia roundabout in the northern Gaza Strip.
Hours earlier, the head of the Government Media Office in Gaza, Salama Marouf, stated that the Israeli massacres have left more than 10,000 dead and missing so far, emphasizing that the presence of martyrs' bodies under the rubble "threatens the spread of epidemics."
Marouf also mentioned that "70 wounded individuals were sent abroad for treatment on Wednesday for the first time since the start of the aggression," coinciding with the entry of 70 trucks carrying humanitarian aid into the Strip.
The Government Media Office stated that "what is heartbreaking and brings tears to the eyes is that the common denominator in the limited aid convoys entering so far is the trucks loaded with shrouds." Reuters, citing Hamas, reported that the casualties from the two Jabalia massacres on Tuesday and Wednesday exceeded 1,000, including martyrs, wounded, and missing. At least 195 Palestinians were killed, 777 were wounded, and 120 remained missing.
The humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip is worsening as a result of the aggression, with Israeli bombardment targeting all aspects of life in the Strip, including bakeries, commercial centers, and hospitals and their surrounding areas. This has led to severe shortages of food, water, and fuel needed to operate desalination plants and power generators, in addition to the collapse of basic services.
