Northern Gaza.<\/p>\n
Two long weeks of intense Israeli Forces’ airstrikes and ground operations.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of Palestinians are reported killed, among them children.<\/p>\n
More than 400,000 people continue to be trapped in the area. The health system has all but collapsed.<\/p>\n
We are not able to reach our teams due to telecommunications cuts. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ has not been allowed to provide any assistance, including food since 30 September. The two crossing points into northern Gaza have been closed since.<\/p>\n
Jabalia camp has been hit the most, some 50,000 people were forced to flee. Basic services, including from Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA, have been interrupted or forced to a halt including our Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA health centre while only two water wells are operational.<\/p>\n
Such attacks, the sabotage of civilian infrastructure and the deliberate denial of critical assistance continue to be used as a tactic by the Israeli Authorities to force people to flee.<\/p>\n
Civilians are given no choice but to either leave or starve. International Humanitarian Law is clear: people cannot be displaced by force, civilians should be protected at all times + given access to basic necessities should they choose to stay.<\/p>\n
In Gaza, too many red lines have been crossed. What might constitute war crimes can still be prevented.<\/p>\n
Ceasefire Now.<\/p>\n
It is not too late to show courage & humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
