For the past 25 consecutive days, the Israeli occupation forces have escalated their attacks across northern Gaza, further intensifying an ongoing campaign that has now reached its 389th day throughout the entire Gaza Strip.

The building housed over 100 displaced Palestinians from Jabalia Camp and Tel al-Zaatar, with families now desperately calling for help to rescue those still trapped. The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital stated that most of the wounded face slim chances of survival due to severe shortages in medical resources, as Israeli bombardments have also impacted the hospital’s surroundings while the ongoing siege restricts the flow of essential goods.
Israeli occupation forces further escalated their operations by targeting the al-Fakhoura School run by UNRWA in Jabalia Camp, setting it ablaze. Concurrently, heavy artillery shelling has devastated the Jabalia and Safatwi areas, compounding the dire situation for civilians.

As the relentless bombardment continues, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are being forcibly displaced from their homes, with reports indicating that Israeli forces are conducting raids on fleeing families, detaining men separately from women and children, and arresting numerous civilians whose locations remain unknown.
Under the unyielding siege, northern Gaza is facing acute shortages in basic supplies, with the occupation restricting humanitarian aid and directly targeting health and civil defense teams.
The Gaza Government Media Office has confirmed that Israeli occupation forces are engaged in a systematic campaign of genocide, with over 770 Palestinians killed and 1,000 injured in the past 20 days alone.
The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said Israel’s military has attacked shelters hosting displaced people in Gaza 39 times so far in October.

Regarding the health disaster resulting from the ongoing aggression on the Strip, the Director General of Field Hospitals in the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Marwan Al-Hams, confirmed that the occupation is preventing the continuation of the second phase of vaccination against the “polio” virus in the north of Gaza City and the north of the Strip.
Al-Hamas pointed out that there are about 110 thousand children in the north of Gaza who need the second dose of the polio vaccine, and that the spread of the disease in Gaza means its spread in the West Bank and ‘Israel’.
Al-Hams called on the countries of the world to take action and not be satisfied with watching the war of genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The ongoing aggression, launched on October 7, 2023, has so far claimed 43,020 lives and left 101,110 injured, with most casualties being children and women. Thousands remain missing under the ruins as relentless Israeli attacks continue across Gaza by land, sea, and air.
