For the 369th consecutive day, the Israeli war machine has relentlessly persisted in its brutal campaign across the Gaza Strip. Since October 7 last year, tens of thousands of civilians have been martyred in the onslaught.
In the latest atrocities, Israeli airstrikes targeted two homes in the al-Shujaiyah neighborhood of eastern Gaza City, martyring 12 people, including nine members of the same family. Rescue teams were prevented from reaching the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, where dozens of bodies were retrieved from the streets.

Explosions from Israeli artillery and gunfire from drones echoed through various neighborhoods of Gaza City. Three more martyrs were killed in an attack on a tent sheltering displaced people west of Al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza. Four bodies, including a child’s, were recovered from the rubble of a house in Al-Bureij camp after an airstrike.

The rampage continues as ‘Israel’ bombs Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. The occupation forces have threatened to evacuate three major hospitals in the north – Kamal Adwan, Al-Awda, and the Indonesian – or face bombardment, putting over 700,000 Palestinians at risk, including thousands of critical patients and vulnerable women, children, and elderly.
‘Israel’ has declared northern Gaza a military zone, intensifying its bombardment and invasion. The occupation government has even proposed plans to ethnically cleanse the region, forcing the displacement of over 140,000 Palestinians from Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia.

UNRWA: 400,000 People Trapped in Northern Gaza Strip
In this context, the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed that “at least 400,000 people are trapped in the northern Gaza Strip,” noting that “Israeli evacuation orders are forcing people to flee repeatedly, especially from Jabalia camp.” The Commissioner continued, “Many refuse to evacuate because they know very well that there is no safe place in Gaza.”
